Question

John bought 15 cookies and ate 3 of them. He ate % of the cookies. (Make sure to enter the answer using numbers only. Do not enter special characters such as the percent symbol.)

Answer 1

20%

Explanation:

Divide 3 by 15 to get 1/5. If you divide 1 by 5, you will get a decimal answer of 0.2. To convert a decimal to a percent, you must multiply the decimal by 100, which basically means to move the decimal place to the right twice. You will then get the product and final answer of 20%.

Answer 2

He ate 20% of the cookies
