Question

As part of a fundraiser, a local charity has sold 5 raffle tickets, with a goal of selling 30 tickets. What percentage of the goal has been sold? (Round to the nearest tenth of a percent, of necessary.)

Answer 1

The answer is 1.5. You multiply 30 x .05

Answer 2

D. 16.7%

Explanation:

We have been given that as part of a fundraiser, a local charity has sold 5 raffle tickets, with a goal of selling 30 tickets. We are asked to find the percentage of the goal that has been sold.

To solve our given problem, we need to find 5 is what percent of 30. To do so, we will divide 5 by 30 and multiply by 100 as:

`\text{Percentage of goal that is sold}=(5)/(30)* 100`

`\text{Percentage of goal that is sold}=(1)/(6)* 100`

`\text{Percentage of goal that is sold}=16.66666\%`

`\text{Percentage of goal that is sold}\approx 16.7\%`

Therefore, approximately 16.7% of the goal has been sold and option D is the correct choice.
