Good stuff is giving away free pens to each of the first 200 people who come in the store today. in the first hour, they gave away 75% of the pens. How many is this?A) 75B) 150C) 125D) 160

Answer 1

As they were giving away free pens to each of the first 200 people who come into the store, it means they had a total number of 200 pens.

In the first hour they gave away 75% of the pens, then we need to calculate the 75% of 200:

`200*\frac{75\text{ \%}}{100\text{ \%}}=200*0.75=150`

Then, in the first hour, they gave away 150 pens.
