Question

On New Year's Eve, 400 people made New Years resolutions. By the end of January, 32 people had kept their resolutions. What percent of the people kept their resolutions?

Answer 1

the answer is 8% percent

Answer 2

Since 32 people had kept their resolutions of the 400 people, we know our answer is 32/400.

To get this to a percentage, we know if we divide the numerator and denominator each by 4, we get 8/100. 

To convert the fraction into a percentage, we multiply by 100. 

Therefore, 8% of people kept their resolutions.
