Answer:
He brought 3 dozen cookies
She ate [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of the bag of Doritos
She read 25 books
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ Mike makes 4 dozen cookies
∵ He brings 75% of them for a party at his school
- Multiply 75% by 4
∵ 75% = [tex]\frac{75}{100}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
∴ He brought = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] × 4
∴ He brought = 3
He brought 3 dozen cookies
∵ Sam bought a bag of Doritos
∵ She ate only 40% of them
∵ 40% = [tex]\frac{40}{100}=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
∴ She ate = [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] × 1
∴ She ate = [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
She ate [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of the bag of Doritos
∵ Jamie took 50 books from the library
∵ She only read half of her whole stack
- Multiply half by 50
∴ She read = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 50
∴ She read = 25
She read 25 books
