Answer 2

Answer: 39 loaves were sold in the afternoon

Step-by-step explanation: So basically what you do here is divide 60 by 100. That makes 0.6, 0.6 equals 1%. (60 equals 100% and that why you divide by 100) Now, you multiply 0.6 by 65. the answer is 39. 65% of the bread is 39 loaves. So 39 loaves were sold in the afternoon.
