Question

What is 80% of 600 and how do I find the answer? I need to know how many cans are needed to reach the goal of getting 100%

Answer 1

80% of 600 is 480 I don't get what's the question

Answer 2

80% of 600 is 480.

100% equals 600, so we can write that fact down as 100% = 600.

Then, write down the other half as x% = 80.

You're left with two equations:

100% = 600 and x% = 80

Which translates to:

100%/x% = 600/80

Finally, all you have to do is solve the equation, and you get the final answer.

I hope this helps! (:
