Question

Doug sold 125 sandwiches to raise money for his boy scout troop. 80% of those sandwiches were sold in his neighborhood. How many sandwiches did Doug sell in his neighborhood?

Answer 1

Doug sold 100 sandwiches in his neighborhood.

Explanation:

To solve for percentage you have to first find the percentage's decimal. To find this you have to the move the decimal point up to places. This makes 80 into 0.8. After you do this you will mutiply that but the total amount. So 125 times 0.8. Once you do this you should get 100. This means that Doug sold 100 sandwiches in his neighborhood.
