Question

Cedro collects state quarters. he has 42 out of 50 available quarters. what is 42 out of 50 as a percent

Answer 1

`42 \ out \ of \ 50=(42)/(50)=(42 * 2)/(50 * 2)=(84)/(100)=\boxed{84\%}`

Answer 2

84%. You start out with 42/50. You need to then multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2 which will give you 84/100 which will then give you 84%.
