Question

Linda has completed 24 deliveries so far this week. she needs to make 40 deliveries for the week. what percentage of her deliveries has linda completed?

Answer 1

Linda would have completed 100% after she makes 40 deliveries. That being said, 24 is part of that 100% percent but we don't know the answer yet, so we represent that unknown percentage with an "x"
Therefore, 40 = 100% and 24 = x%
Your equation then is:

`(24* 100)/(40)= 60`
That 60 is the 60% of completion.
