Question

The Girl Scouts collected $90 for charity while the Boy Scouts collected $60.

What percent of the total amount was collected by the Girl Scouts?

Answer 1

So first you’ll have to find the total or the sum of collected.

$90+$60= $150

Because you’re finding the percent of the total collected by girl scouts, divide the amount collected from the girl scouts by the total.

$90/$150= .6

Multiply that by 100 to get %60.
