Question

A country in South America exported 62% of the 315,000 bags of coffee beans they produced in a given year. How many bags did they export? Can someone please help me without a link to go to.​

Answer 1

Answer:

195,300

Step-by-step explanation:

62 percent *315000 =

(62:100)*315000 =

(62*315000):100 =

19530000:100 = 195300

Now we have: 62 percent of 315000 = 195300

Question: What is 62 percent of 315000?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 315000.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with x.

Step 3: From step 1 above,315000=100%.

Step 4: Similarly, x=62%.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

315000=100%(1).

x=62%(2).

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

315000/x = 100/62%

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x/315000 = 62/100

x=195300

Therefore, 62% of 315000 is 195300
