Question

While digging, John found a large metal bar that weighed 50 ounces. John

was also able to determine that the bar had 30 ounces of silver. What
percent of the weight of the bar was silver?

Answer 1

60%
If you take the 30% and divide from the 50% you get .6 multiply that by a 100 you get 60.

30/50=.60
.60x100=60
60%
