Answer:
48% of cans were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
We must calculate the percentage of cans of popcorn sold during the weekend.
To calculate the percentage we use the following equation
[tex]\%Sold =\frac{X_s}{Xt}*100\%[/tex]
Where:
[tex]X_s[/tex] is the amount of cans sold
[tex]X_t[/tex] is the total amount of cans (those that were sold and those that were not sold)
In this case:
[tex]X_s=72[/tex] and [tex]X_t=150[/tex]
Then:
[tex]\%Sold =\frac{72}{150}*100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Sold =48\%[/tex]
