Answer 2

Answer: The musical group sold  60%of the white hats and  70%of the black hats.

A greater percentage of  black hats were sold.

Step-by-step explanation: to answer this question we have to divide the number of hats sold by the number of total hats for each case.

Then, we have to multiply that result by 100, to obtain the result in percentage form.

White Hats: (120/200) x 100 =60%

Black hats: (210/300) x 100= 70%

The musical group sold 60%of the white hats and 70%of the black hats.  

A greater percentage of black hats were sold. (Since 70 > 60 )
