Question

Eighty percent of one store’s customers paid with credit cards. Forty customers came in that day. How many customers paid for their purchases with credit cards?

Answer 1

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

40 = 100%

how many are 80% ?

well, 80% = 80× 1%

1% = 100% / 100

so, in our case

80% = 80×40/100 = 8×4 = 32

as a shortcut you consider a percentage x as a ratio factor of x/100 you multiply the 100% number with.

in our case

80% = 40 × 80/100 = 32
