Bryce and Rachel are collecting canned goods for the local food bank.

Bryce's goal is to collect 32 items.
Rachel's goal is to collect 24 items.
If Rachel and Bryce each meet their goal, what fraction of Bryce's goal
does Rachel collect?

My guess is 75% but I think I did the wrong math good luck

Step by step solving:

If he collects 32 and she collects 24, then it would be looking for the percentage over 100.

Rachel. |. 24

Bruce's 100 |. 32

%

this is the percent one

you will need to find the percentage over a hundred and 32 is equivalent to one hundred.

100÷32= 3.125

24•3.125=75

so in the end, if 32•3.125= 100 then you need to do 24•3.125 as well and you get 75%

DID I DO THE WRONG MATH!!!!?????
