Question

My friends and I are buying a total of 50 Howdy
cupcakes. I'd like to order 20% of the total.

Answer 1

Answer: 10 Howdy cupcakes

Explanation:

A percent divided by 100 becomes a decimal.

`20\%\; / \;100 = 0.2`

Now, we will multiply the total by 0.2 to find 20%.

`50 * 0.2 = 10`

You will be ordering 10 cupcakes.
