Question

Liam sold team flags before his high school's homecoming game. He sold 50 flags but had

thought he'd sell 20% more than that. How many flags did Liam think he would sell? i

Answer 1

He thought he would sell 60 flags.

Explanation:

Convert 20% in a decimal. That gives you .2, multiple that by 50 to get what 20% of 50 is. .20 multiplied by 50 is 10. Adding 50=10 gives you 60. So therefore, Liam thought he would sell 60 flags.

Answer 2

Answer: 60 flags.

Explanation:

You take your 20% percent and divide by 100, giving you 0.2.

You then multiply 50 x 0.2, giving you 10.

You add the 10 to 50, giving you a total of 60 flags.
