Question

Maria is making paper flowers as decorations for the fall dance. She has made 40 flowers so far, and she is 16% finished. If she plans to finish making 70% of the total flowers needed by tonight, how many more will she need by then? Please answer soon its due 11:59 tonight!!

Answer 1

the number of additional she needed is 135

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

GIven that

40 flowers of 16%

So for 100% it would be

= 40 ×100 ÷ 16

= 250

Now she needs to make is

= 70% - 16%

= 54%

Now the additional would be

= 250 × 54%

= 135

Hence, the number of additional she needed is 135
