Anna makes 300 sandwiches for the company picnic. Half of the sandwiches are prepared with pimento cheese. Anna realizes that some of the pimento cheese sandwiches are not edible because the expiration date on one of the containers had passed. If 3/5 of the pimento cheese sandwiches were prepared with the expired cheese, what percent of the total sandwiches are edible?

Answer:

40% or 2/5

If 3/5 of the pimento cheese sandwiches were prepared with the expired cheese that means 2/5 wasn't. 2/5 written as a percent is 40%
