Question

Emily is running a lemonade stand. She expects to make $110 for the day, but ends up making 162% of that amount. How much money did Emily make that day?

Answer 1

Answer:

  $178.20

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the amount that is 162% of $110.

Percent

The symbol % is fully equivalent to /100. This means 162% is ...

  162% = 162/100 = 1.62

Then the required amount is ...

  162% × $110 = 1.62 × $110 = $178.20

Emily made $178.20 that day.
