If she were to try on 500500500 dresses, which of the following is the best prediction for the number of dresses that would fit well?

Answer 1

the answer is D

Answer 2

The best prediction would be that there are 175 dresses that fit well.

Explanation:

In order to determine this, we need to find the percentage of dresses that fit well. So subtract the two amounts from 100%.

100% - 40% - 25% = 35%

Now we multiply the amount of total dresses by the percentage that fit.

35% * 500 = 175
