Question

if you have 8 cups of punch & 15% sorbet in it how many cups of sorbet do you use

Answer 1

8 cups of punch with 15% of sorbet in each cup.

First we have to find out how much 15% makes up in one cup, which is .15
(by moving the decimal two places to the left).

Then we have to multiply .15 by 8 (amount of cups).

.15 * 8 = 1.2

1.2 cups of sorbet were used.

Hope I was able to help :)
