Question

I have a lemon tree in my back yard. Last year, I brought 50 lemons to school to share with my friends. At the end of the day, there were 7 lemons left. Since I had 7 left, my friends took 43/50 lemons. What percent of the lemons did my coworkers take? Explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

Your coworkers took 86% of the bottles. To find the percentage you divide 43/50 then multiply by 100.
