Question

If 15\%15% of the total number of truckloads of dirt that were ordered have been delivered to the construction site, how many total truckloads of dirt were ordered?

Answer 1

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

`Ordered = 15\%`

Required

Determine the number of truckloads ordered

The question is incomplete as the total number of trucks were not given.

Assume the number of trucks is x.

The ordered truckloads would be:

`Ordered = 15\% * x`

Assume x is 100

`Ordered = 15\% * 100`

`Ordered = 15`
