Question

Saleh is delivering newspapers for his part-time job. He needs to deliver 30 newspapers and has distributed 10 so far.

What percent of total number of newspapers has Saleh delivered so far?

Answer 1

He has delivered 33.3% of his papers. Think of it as a fraction 10/30. Now 100% is 30 papers. 1/3 of that, which is our fraction reduced, is where you get 33.3%. If you divide 100 into thirds (100/3), you get the percent.
