Question

Bob's Gift Shop sold 600 cards for Mother's Day. One salesman, Tariq, sold 2% of the cards sold for Mother's Day. How many cards did Tariq sell?

Answer 1

Answer: Tariq sold 12 cards.

Explanation:

First, a percent divided by 100 becomes a decimal.

2% / 100 = 0.02

Next, we need to find 2% of 600 cards. In mathematics, "of" means multiplication. We will multiply.

0.02 * 600 cards = 12 cards

Tariq sold 12 cards.
