Question

Jade’s new suitcase weighs 3kg.

When it is packed, her suitcase must not weight more than 25kg altogether.
What percentage of the 25kg does Jade have left for packing?

Answer 1

88%

Explanation:

Since the suitcase weighs 3kg,

weight left for packing

= 25 -3

= 22kg

Percentage left for packing

`= (weight \: left \: for \: packing)/(total \: weight \: ) * 100\%`

`= (22)/(25) * 100\%`

= 88%
