Question

Jaylon has 20 math problems for homework. He has completed 60% of the

problems so far. How many problems has he completed?

Answer 1

Jaylon has completed 12 problems.

Explanation:

(This is how I learned it- I'm not sure if you have been taught this way..)
Step 1. Set up a proportion

`(60)/(100) = (x)/(20)`
Step 2. Do 200x 60 to get 1200
Step 3. Get this equation

`(1200)/(100) = x`
Step 4. Get the answer of 12
I hope this helps! :)

Step 1: Determine the amount of problems that were completed

(Total number of problems) * (Percent of completed problems)

(20) * (60% / 100%)

(20) * (0.6)

12
