Question

Mary's garden contains roses, daffodils, and tulips. About 3/5 of the flowers are tulips. What percent of the flowers in Mary's garden are tulips
A.40%
B.50%
C.60%
D.79%
And could you please explain

Answer 1

C; a percent is out of 100. All you have to do is change the denominator into 100. Since 5x20=100, you have to multiply 3/5 top and bottom by 20. Your product should be 60.

Answer 2

a 40 percent because when you 2/5 is left so multiply that by 20/20 and you get 40/100 which is your answer
