Question

During Thanksgiving Break, 68% of a school's students ate green bean casserole. Out of 650 students, how many ate green bean casserole?

Answer 1

650 --- total

650*.68=442

442 students ate green bean casserole

.68 represents the percentage

so for example, if they asked me for 50% of 1000

we need to multiply 1000*0.5

if they asked for 60% we will multiply 1000*0.6
