Question

1. A pond has 85 frogs, 20% of the frogs are green the rest are orange, brown, and yellow. How many frogs are green?​

Answer 1

17 green frogs

Explanation:

You need to multiply the decimal form of 20% by 85.

To find the decimal form of a percent you take the decimal (20.00) and move it twice to the left (20.00 ---> .2000)

Now, multiply by .2 by 85

(.2)(85) = 17

Therefore, 17 frogs in the pond of 85 frogs are green

Hope this helps!!
