Question

Jerry sold 7/20 of the total number of tickets that were sold for the spring band concert. what percent of the total number of tickets did jerry sell?

Answer 1

Jerry sold 7/20 of the total number of tickets that were sold for the spring band concert.

Total number of tickets sold =
`(7)/(20)`

To find the percentage of the total number of tickets sold , we write 7/20 in percentage.

To convert 7/20 in to percentage we divide it to make it a decimal form and then multiply it by 100.

`(7)/(20) = 0.35 * 100` = 35%

So 35% of the total number of tickets sold.
