Question

Good stuff is giving away pens to each of the first 200 peopel who come in the store today. In the first hour, they gave 75% of the pens. How many is this?

Answer 1

We are given that

Good stuff is giving away pens to each of the first 200 peopel who come in the store today

so, total number of people given is

`N=200`

In the first hour, they gave 75% of the pens

so, we need to find total number of pens given in first hours

percentage of pens given 1st hour =75%

so,

total number of pens given in first hour = (percentage of pens given 1st hour)*(total number of people given)

now, we can plug values

and we get

total number of pens given in first hour is

`=0.75*N`

`=0.75*200`

`=150`................Answer
