Question

A rancher is planning to put up 220 yards of fencing. In the morning she puts up 80 yards, and in the afternoon she puts up 40% of the remaining fence. What percent of the fence did she put up that day?

Answer 1

The answer to your problem is 25.4545454545454545%. You can find it by, first subtracting 80 from 220 to get 140. Then you have to find 40% of 140. Your answer would be 56. Then you need to find, "What percent of 200 is 56?" From there you will get the answer 25.4545454545454545%.
