Question

Ava, Grace, Jayden, and Zoe together stacked a total of 50 brownies on a tray. Ava stacked 0.14 of the brownies, Grace stacked 4 of the 50 brownies, Jayden stacked 24% of the brownies, and Zoe stacked the remaining brownies. Who stacked the most brownies? (5 points)

Select one:
a. Ava
b. Grace
c. Jayden
d. Zoe

Answer 1

well first you need to figure out:

grace: 0.14 of 50
grace: 4/50
jayden: 24% of 50
zoe: 50 - every body else's #

so you have to calculate each one and see which one's the largest

let me know if you're getting stuck or want to check your sol'n

Answer 2

well, how about we break it down step by step

"grace: 0.14 of 50"

"of" usually means multiply in math, so simply multiply 0.14 * 50 to see how many brownies grace stacked

Answer 3

7

Answer 4

good!

now let's do Jayden's

what is 24% of 50?

Answer 5

Here's the answer:

50 - (50 x 0.14) - 4 - (50 x 24%) = 50 - 7 - 4 - 12 = 50 - 23 = 27

Therefore Zoe stacked the most brownies. She stacked 27 brownies out of the 50 brownies.

The answer is option D "Zoe."

Good luck.

Answer 6

12

Answer 7

good!

so now you simply subtract

50 - 4 - 7 - 12 = ?

to get zoe's count
