Question

A deli owner sold 90 sandwiches in one day. Of those sandwiches, 36 were pastrami. Write an equation to show what percent of sandwiches sold were pastrami

Answer 1

Answer:

36/90 * 100 = p

(p is percent sold that were pastrami)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, 36/90 (part over whole), simplifies to 40/100. We can multiply that by 100 to get a percentage. And that is your equation.
