Question

A deli owner sold 90 sandwiches in one day. Of those sandwiches, 36 were pastrami.

Write and solve an equation to show what percent of sandwiches sold were pastrami.
Drag tiles to complete the equation. Tiles may be used once or not at all.

Answer 1

To find the percent of sandwiches that were pastrami, divide the number of pastrami sandwiches by the total number of sandwiches sold and multiply by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of sandwiches that were pastrami, divide the number of pastrami sandwiches by the total number of sandwiches sold and multiply by 100. In this case, there were 36 pastrami sandwiches out of 90 sandwiches sold. So, the equation is:

% of pastrami sandwiches = (36/90) * 100 = 40%

Answer 2

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 36 by 90, which equals 0.4. Then to turn that into a percent, you times it by 100, which equals 40.
