Question

Trey has completed 36 deliveries so far this week. He needs to make 80 deliveries for the week. What percentage of deliveries has trey completed?

Answer 1

The fraction of completed deliveries is

`(36)/(80)=0.45`

We want to express 0.45 as a fraction with denominator 100:

`0.45=(x)/(100)\iff x=0.45\cdot 100=45`

So, 45% of the work has been done so far.
