Question

North Conway Ski Shop ordered 300 pairs of skis. When the shop received the order, 60 pairs of skis were missing. What percent of the order did the shop receive?

Answer 1

The North Conway Ski Shop received 80% of their original order of 300 pairs of skis after noting that 60 pairs were missing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The North Conway Ski Shop ordered 300 pairs of skis, but only 240 pairs (300 - 60) were received. To find the percent of the order that the shop received, we apply the formula for percent: percent = (part / whole) × 100. In this case, the part is the number of skis received, and the whole is the total number of skis ordered.

So, the calculation would be: percent received = (240 / 300) × 100. Calculating this, we get:

percent received = 0.8 × 100

percent received = 80%

Therefore, the ski shop received 80% of the original order.

Answer 2

Answer: 80% received, 20% lost.

Step-by-step explanation:
`(60)/(300)` ×
`(x)/(100)` =
`(6000)/(300)` *Make sure to cross multiply!!*

——————————————6000 ÷ 300 = 20%

——————————————100 - 20 = 80% .

Therefore, the shop received 80% of the order because the other 20% are missing.
