Question

Bob's Gift Shop sold 400 cards for Mother's Day. One salesman, Genesis, sold 2% of the cards sold for Mother's Day. How many cards did Genesis sell?

Answer 1

To find how many cards Genesis sold, calculate 2% of 400, which equals 8 cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many cards Genesis sold when he sold 2% of the total cards sold for Mother's Day by Bob's Gift Shop. The total number of cards sold was 400. To find the number Genesis sold, you calculate 2% of 400 cards. Here's the step by step calculation:

1. Convert the percentage to a decimal: 2% = 0.02.
2. Multiply the total number of cards by the decimal: 400 cards × 0.02 = 8 cards.

Thus, Genesis sold 8 cards for Mother's Day.
