Question

Ronny, Celina, Jack, and Michelle together placed a total of 20 brownies on a tray. Ronny placed 0.15 of the brownies, Celina placed 3 of the 20 brownies, Jack placed 30% of the brownies, and Michelle placed the remaining brownies. Who placed the most brownies?

Answer 1

To answer the question above, evaluate the number of cookies each of them placed on a tray. The calculations are shown below,

Ronny C1 = 0.15 x 20 = 3

Celina C2 = 3

Jack C3 = 0.30 x 20 = 6

Michelle C4 = 20 - (3 + 3 + 6) = 8

From the calculation above, Michelle placed the most number of brownies on the tray.

Answer 2

Ronny placed 0.15 that means fifteen percent. Celina placed three that means 15 percent once again. Jack placed 30 percent. Therefore michelle places 100 - 60 equal to 40 percent. That is the highest
