Question

Jenna's class brought in 40 pieces of fruit for a celebration and 32 pieces of fruit were eaten. What percentage of the fruit was NOT eaten?

Answer 1

20%

Explanation:

40 pieces total

32 pieces eaten

40 - 32 = 8

8 pieces not eaten

Percentage = (part / whole) x 100%

Percentage = (8 / 40) x 100% = 0.2 x 100%

Percentage = 20%
