About 150 million of the 20 billion hot dogs consumed in the United States each year are eaten during the Fourth of July weekend. What percent of the hot dogs are eaten at this time?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13.3 %

OpenStudy (perl):

I think you want 150,000,000 / 20,000,000,000 then multiply by 100 to get your percent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 750 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.75

OpenStudy (perl):

there should be a percent sign now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.75%

OpenStudy (perl):

there you go :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

OpenStudy (perl):

this problem is a parts to whole percentage, so place the bigger number in the denominator
