An ice cream truck began its daily route with 92 gallons of ice cream. The truck sold 61% of the ice cream. How many gallons of ice cream were sold?
could you do it if it said 1/2 was sold?
To find the number of gallons of ice cream sold, we can multiply the total amount of ice cream by the percentage sold.
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100.
61% = 61/100 = 0.61
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by the total amount of ice cream.
0.61 * 92 = 56.12
Therefore, approximately 56.12 gallons of ice cream were sold.
