Question

Duo makes 65% percent of his dumplings with vegetarian fillings. What fraction of Duo's dumplings have vegetarian fillings?

Answer 1

Per cent means for every hundred, so we just put 65 into a fraction with 100. However, percents are already out of 100. So for every 100 dumplings, 65 are vegetarian.

Answer 2

`(13)/(20)` fraction of Duo's dumplings have vegetarian fillings.

Explanation:

Given : Duo makes 65% percent of his dumplings with vegetarian fillings.

To find : What fraction of Duo's dumplings have vegetarian fillings?

Solution :

We have given the percentage of his dumplings with vegetarian fillings i.e. 65%.

Now, We required it in fraction.

So,
`65\%=(65)/(100)`

Simplify fraction into simpler fraction,

`(65)/(100)=(13)/(20)`

Therefore,
`(13)/(20)` fraction of Duo's dumplings have vegetarian fillings.
