Question

Josh marked 12% of the e-mails in his Inbox as Important. If he has 125 e-mails in his Inbox, how many did he mark as Important?

Answer 1

15

Answer 2

12% means that for every 100, there are 12 marked.
This also means that for every 1, there are 12/100 marked.

There are 125 total, so we have:
125 * (12 / 100) = 125 * 0.12 = 15

Answer 3

thanks!
