Question

May raked 40% of the

yard and filled up 12
bags of leaves. How
many bags will she need
to rake the whole yard?

Answer 1

Answer: 30 bags

Explanation:

she raked 40 % of the yard to fill up 12 bags , by proportion:

40% = 12bags

1% = 12/40 bags,

Then 60 % = 12/40 x 60

= 18

Therefore the total bags needed to fill the whole yards will be

18 + 12

= 30
