Question

Phil planted 3 bushels of corn. His harvest was 349% of what he planted. How much did he harvest? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

10.47

Explanation:

The question is asking us to find 349% of 3. In order to calculate the percentage of a whole number, we must convert the percentage into a decimal, and then multiply it by the whole number.

Start by converting 349% to a decimal:

`349` ÷
`100=3.49`

Now, multiply the quotient by the number of bushels of corn:

`3.49(3)=10.47`

And 10.47 to the nearest hundredth is 10.47; therefore, 10.47 is the final answer.
