Answer 1

00%/x%=48/28

(100/x)*x=(48/28)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.71428571429*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.71428571429) to get x

100/1.71428571429=x

58.3333333333=x

x=58.3333333333

Answer 2

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

We use the percentage calculation to determine a certain amount as a fraction of 100 equal parts.

If we analyze the information provided to us, we know that a store has 48 boxes of juice and has only sold 24. We have been asked to calculate the percentage of that sale.

We can do it as follows:

By dividing the quantity of juice boxes sold by the quantity of juice boxes in total:

28/48 = 0.583…

As we are asked for an approximate result, we can see that the best option to this figure is option D: 60%.
