Question

There are 20 puzzles in Magdalena's puzzle book. Magdalena completes 55% of

the puzzles. How many puzzles does Magdalena have left to complete? Explain
your answer.
Help please

Answer 1

Magdalena has 9 puzzles left to complete.

Explanation:

1. Convert the percentage of puzzles you finished to a decimal by dividing by 100%. 55% ÷ 100% = 0.55

2. Multiply the total number of puzzles by 0.55 to get how many puzzles she has already completed. 20 x 0.55 = 11

3. Subtract the amount of puzzles Magdalena has already completed from the total amount of puzzles. 20 - 11 = 9

4. Therefore, Magdalena has 9 puzzles left to complete
