Question

Ms. Martina had 12 mangoes in Her fruit bowl. she used 8 of the mangoes to bake a pie. what percent of mangoes did she use for the pie?A 55%B 65%C 66 2/3%D 15%

Answer 1

To find the percentage, we have to divide 8 by 12

`(8)/(12)=0.6666\ldots`

Then, we multiply by 100 to express in percentage

`0.6666\ldots*100=66.66\ldots=66(2)/(3)`

Hence, the answer is C.
