Forty percent of the sheets of construction paper are secondary colors. There are 25 sheets of construction paper. How many of those sheets are secondary colors?

Respuesta :

10 of those sheets are secondary colors.

40% = 0.4
0.4(25) = 10

Total Number of sheets of construction paper= 25

The Percent of the sheets of construction paper that are secondary color = 40%

Percent means out of 100.To find number of secondary color sheet we find 40% of 25.

40%=[tex] \frac{40}{100} [/tex]

Number of sheets which are of secondary color=[tex] \frac{40}{100} of 25 =\frac{1000}{100} =10 [/tex]

Number of secondary color sheets =10.
