Question

Mr lopez must make a minimum of 48 circuits boards per day. On Wednesday he made 60 circuit boardsm qhar percent of the required minimum did he make?

Answer 1

125%

Explanation:

Lopez made more than the required minimum. So, his percentage will be over 100, for sure. But how much?

This question is essentially asking "60 is what percent of 48"?

We can translate this into:

60 = P * 48

Note: is means "=" and of means "*"

Solving for p:

`60=P*48\\P=(60)/(48)\\P=1.25`

In percentage it is 1.25 * 100 = 125%
