Question

You’re convinced that 75% of 400g flour is 300g.

Your friend disagrees and says 75% is 175g of flour.

Whose conversion is correct?

Answer 1

You are

Explanation:

25% is 1/4 of the total value

100/400 = 1/4

So, 100g is 25%

25% * 3 = 75%, so 100 * 3 = 300

Thus, you are correct.

I have no idea how to explain where 'your friend' went wrong :D

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

So how many g is 75% of 400g?
All you have to do is take 400 and multiply it by 75%, or 0.75 after converted to a decimal by dividing by 100.
(400)(0.75)=300g
300g is correct. Your friend is wrong.
