GP 3: Haley is making admission tickets to the middle school dance. So far she has made 112 tickets, and her planis to make 320 tickets.What percent of the admission tickets has Haley produced so far?VerbalPractionDecimal

Answer 1

The 100% of tickets are 320 tickets (this is Haley's goal), she made 112 tickets. To determine what percentage of 320 does 112 represent you can use cross multiplication:

320 ____ 100%

112 _____ x%

Both relations are at the same ratio so that

`\begin{gathered} (100)/(320)=(x)/(112) \\ x=112((100)/(320)) \\ x=35 \end{gathered}`

112 tickets represent 35% of 320, which means that she made 35% of the admission tickets so far.
