Question

There are 45 houses in Connor's neighborhood, and 80% of them give out candy on Halloween. How many houses in Connor's neighborhood give out candy?

Answer 1

36 houses

Explanation:

To find the number of houses that give out candy, we can use the following proportion:

(Number of houses that give out candy) / 45 houses = 80% / 100%

Solving for the number of houses that give out candy, we get:

(Number of houses that give out candy) = (80/100) * 45 houses = 36 houses

Therefore, 36 houses in Connor's neighborhood give out candy on Halloween.
