Question

An ice cream truck began its daily route with 95 gallons of ice cream. The truck driver sold 58% of the ice cream. How many gallons of ice cream were sold? round to nearest gallon

Answer 1

Start making the percentage as a fraction

`\begin{gathered} 58\text{\%}=(58)/(100) \\ \end{gathered}`

multiply the fraction by the total of the daily routine

`95\cdot(58)/(100)=55.1\approx55gallons`
