Question

At the sewing store, Paula bought a bag of mixed buttons. She got 62 large buttons and no

small buttons. What percentage of the buttons were large?
Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Answer 1

Because she got 62 large buttons and 0 small buttons, in total she got 62 buttons. 62 large buttons / 62 total buttons = 62/62. That simplifies to just 1. 1 in percents is just 100%, and that’s true because all, 100%, of the buttons were large.
