Question

To celebrate the first day of school, Josh brought in a tray of caramel brownies and walnut brownies. The tray had a total of 76 brownies, of which 75% were caramel. How many caramel brownies did Josh bring?

Answer 1

To find 75% of 76, turn 75% into a decimal.

75% ⇒ 0.75

Now multiply 76 by 0.75.

76 × 0.75 = 57

75% of 76 is 57, so 57 of the cookies that Josh brought were caramel brownies.
