Question

If in a rock collection 60% of the rocks are Quartz how many rocks are Quartz if there are 35 rocks?

Answer 1

35 - 100%

7 - 20%

21 - 60%

Answer 2

If 60% of the rocks are Quartz, you need to multiply the total number of rocks by 60% (this is the same as multiplying by 0.6 as 0.6=60%)
So 35 x 0.6 = 21
Therefore there are 21 quartz rocks in the collection.
