Hello!

To find a percent, yourcwill convert the percent into a decimal by dividing by 100. We get 0.6.
We multiply this by 2450, giving us 1470 roses.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

1,470 roses.

Explanation:

A flower store sold 2,450 flowers in a month.

In total sale there are 60% of the flowers were roses.

We have to calculate = 60% of 2,450


(60)/(100) × 2,450

0.60 × 2,450 = 1,470

The store sold 1,470 roses in the month.
