OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know you turn 22 into a percentage but out of what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhmm what I have in mind is adding all of the meals served then after that you have to figure out what % is the lunch meal at the counter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok let me try to do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i added that up and got 468

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright then to find the percentage of just the lunch meal served at the counter. You have to grab that number and divide it by the total (468) then you multiply it by 100.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 93.6%?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dang it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 21 }{ 468 }* 100 = ?\]

OpenStudy (nayef):

sorry, 22 not 21.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got a fraction o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh you are right, 22!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and thanks @Nayef

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 22 }{ 468 } * 100 = ?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first divide 22 by 468. Then multiply it by 100. That is the percentage.

OpenStudy (nayef):

welcome Mateaus.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

21.2 when i divided

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks you Nayef.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you divide 22/468 you get .04700 and so on, correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i didnt divide it right i did 468 divided by 22 but you are correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because 22 being divided by 468 didnt sound right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i got 0.04700854

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now multiply that by 100 and you should get the percentage.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 4.7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, that is the percentage of lunch meals served at the counter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks so much i have never been this confused lol i fanned and medaled

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says to round to the nearest percent so it would be 5.0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
