You work at a clothing store, and your boss wants you to find out which type of shirt had the highest percentage of sales.
You found that 13 out of 20 tank tops were sold, and 15 out of 25 T-shirts were sold.
Which percent represents the type of shirt with the greater percentage sold?


Answer :

20-13=7

25-15=10 that means that tank topshave 7% of tank tops left and shirts are 10% so tank tops sell the most

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent means 'out of 100' so, both the fractions need to have a denominator of 100.

They both need to have the same denominator so we have to convert them first...:

13   /   20                    15   /   25      

?   /   100                     ?   /   100  

 13   /   20      ×5                            15   /   25      ×4

 65 /   100  =65%                        60   /   100  =60%

From this we can understand and see that 65/100 is bigger than 60/100 therefore, the tank top sold more than the t-shirts.

Hope this helps!
