with charcoal, how many of the words were not written with charcoal?

40 words
B 90 words
C 60 words
D
36 words

Respuesta :

C because I rounded up to 5 which would be 75 and it was a little less so C

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

40% can be written as 40/100

to find 40% of 150, you have to set a proportion

40/100=x/150

cross multiply the terms and you get

100x=6000

divide both sides by 100

x=60 so c
