Question

You work at a clothing store, and your boss wants you to find out which type

of shirt had the highest percentage of sales.
You found that 13 out of 20 tank tops were sold, and 15 out of 25 T-shirts
were sold.
Which percent represents the type of shirt with the greater percentage sold?

A. 15%
B. 13%
C. 60%
D.65%

Answer 1

The answer would be D. To find percentage, you would divide the partial number from the total number. In this case, 13/ 20 because 13 tank tops were sold out of 20. 13/20 is .65. To convert decimals to percentage, multiply by 100 and you would get 65% for the first one. Repeat for the next, 15/25, and you would get 60%. Therefore 65% is the greater percentage.
