Question

1. A school orders 120 calculators.

The school receives a shipment containing 80%
of the order,
and 1 out of every 3 of these calculators is black.
How many black calculators has the school received
in this shipment?
a.32
b.40
c.50
d.96

Answer 1

I believe the answer is A.32
Because the school received 80% of the 120 so that then equals to 96 then I divided by 3 and got 32 so that’s why I believe that’s the right answer.

Answer 2

A. 32

Step-by-step explanation:

80% of 120 is 96

So 96 divided by 3 is 32, so 32 x 3 = 96

Which means 32/96 also equals 1/3
