Question

This is a series of 3 questions please answer :)

You use 8 fluid ounces of fruit juice in a recipe to make 64 fluid ounces of fruit punch. A fruit punch you can buy at the store has 10% real fruit juice.
Which has a higher percent of fruit juice?

While shooting baskets at a basketball hoop, you make 36 out of 80 shots.
Your friend makes 43.75% of the shots. Who made a higher percent?

To earn a bonus in a video game, you must find at least 60% of the hidden gems. You find 25 out of 40 gems. Do you get the bonus? Explain.

Answer 1

1. The first one I think you would divide 8 from 64 n get 8 so thats 8%. Answer to that would be the Store.

2. You would!! 56%

3. Multiply 2.5 to 40 and 25. You need a denominator of 100. 62.5/100
So yes you did find at least 60%


I think I did this right. Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer: The questions are answered.

Step-by-step explanation: The calculations are done as follows.

(i) Since I use 8 fluid ounces of fruit juice in making 64 fluid ounces of fruit punch, so percentage of fruit juice used is

$p_1=\dfrac{8}{64}\times 100\%=\dfrac{100}{8}\%=12.5\%.$

Also, a fruit punch we can buy from a store has only 10% of real fruit juice, so my fruit punch has higher percent of fruit juice than that available in the store.

(ii) I make 36 out of 80 shots while shooting baskets at a basketball hoop, so the percentage of shots is

$p_2=\dfrac{36}{80}\times 100\%=\dfrac{36\times 5}{4}\%=45\%.$

Since my friend makes 43.75% of the shots, so I made a higher percentage of shots.

(iii) I find 25 out of 40 gems in a video game, so percentage of hidden gems that I found is

$p_3=\dfrac{25}{40}\times 100\%=\dfrac{25\times 5}{2}\%=62.5\%.$

Since at least 60%  of hidden gems must be found to earn a bonus, so definitely I will earn a bonus here.

Thus, all the three questions are answered.
