Question

chau needs to make a total of 85 deliveries this week. so far he has completed 34 of them. what percentage of his total deliveries has chau completed

Answer 1

Chau completed 40% of his deliveries

To find out the percentage, divide the smaller number (34) by the larger number (85) which will give you a number with a decimal

34 / 85 = 0.4

Now convert the decimal into a percent by multiplying it by 100 or moving the decimal place 2 spaces to the left

0.4 * 100 = 40%

To check if your answer it correct, convert the percent into a decimal (40% = 0.4) and multiply it by 85. It should give you 34

0.4 * 85 = 34

Hope this helped :D
