Question

You produce 100 items and 47 of them will be shipped out of state. What percent of the items will be shipped out of state?

Answer 1

47%.
anything that's out of 100 is going to be that number as a percent.
So if you had 34 things being shipped out of state then 34% of them would be shipped out of state.

Answer 2

You produce 47 items and 47 of the items will be shipped out of state. What percent of the items will be shipped out of state?

The fraction
`(47)/(100)` represents the 47 items that will be shipped out of state out of all the items.

To find out what percent of the items will be shipped out of state, we can turn
`(47)/(100)` into a percent.

47 ÷ 100 = 0.47

0.47 × 100 = 47%

Therefore, 47% of the items will be shipped out of state.
