Question

Felicia picked 20 daisies .She gave away 15 daisies .What percent of daisies did she gave away

Answer 1

Answer: 75%

Explanation:

To find out what percent of daisies she gave away, we can use this formula:
`\textsf{(Number of Daisies she gave away  / Total number of Daisies) x 100}`

So, the fraction of daisies she gave away is:

`(15)/(20)`

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5:

`(15)/(20) = (3)/(4)`

This means that Felicia gave away 3 out of every 4 daisies she picked.

To find the percentage, we multiply this fraction by 100:

`(3)/(4)`
`\textsf{x 100 = 75}`

So, Felicia gave away 75% of the daisies she picked.
