Question

Please help before I get grounded for a year. I’m sorry if for throwing this out at you.

Answer 1

There were 21 gingerbread cookies.

Explanation:

To find 42% of 50, change 42% to a decimal first.

42% means 42.% move the decimal two places to the left. You get .42

OR divide by 100.

42% means 42/100,

you still get a decimal to work with, .42

To find the answer, times 50 × .42

You get 21.

21 is 42% of 50.
