Question

Alex sold 165 raffle tickets, which was about 70% of the number of tickets sold by his brother Zane. Approximately how many tickets did Zane sell ?

Answer 1

115.5 tickets sold.

Explanation:

Finding the percent of something is the same as multiplying by that percent as a decimal. So, 70% = 0.70.

0.70 x 165 = 115.5 tickets sold.
