Question

Steve sold 252 fruit baskets for a school fundraiser. Evie sold 25 fruit baskets for each 100 baskets that Steve sold. How many fruit baskets did Evie sell?

Answer 1

63 baskets

Explanation:

Given data,

Steve sold = 252 baskets

Evie sold = 25 fruit basket for each 100 basket sold by Steve

So, Evie is selling 25% of baskets sold by Steve.

We can calculate the total number of basket sold by Evie by using following formula,

Evie total basket sold = Percent sold by Evie × Basket sold by Steve

By putting the value, we get

Evie total basket sold = 25% × 252

= 63 baskets
