Question

An ice cream truck began its daily route with 95 gallons of ice cream. The truck driver sold 78% of the ice cream. How many gallons of ice cream were sold

Answer 1

74 gallons of ice cream were sold.

Answer 2

74.1 gallons

Explanation:

An ice cream truck started its daily route with the amount of ice cream = 95 gallons

The truck driver sold the amount of ice cream = 78% of 95 gallons

The amount of ice cream were sold = 78% × 95

=
`(78)/(100)* 95`

= 0.78 × 95

= 74.1 gallons

74.1 gallons of ice cream were sold.
