Question

A local bakery sold 60 loaves of bread in one day. If 65% of these were sold in the afternoon, how many loaves were sold in the afternoon

Answer 1

65% were sold in the afternoon.

Number sold = 65% of 60

= 0.65 * 60 = 39

39 loaves were sold in the afternoon.

Answer 2

To find the answer, simply multiply 60 loaves of bread by 65%:
60 * 0.65
= 39

Therefore, 39 loaves were sold in the afternoon
