1. a. 40 mango jellies out of the 80 jelly are sold: 40/80 = 0.5 = 50%
b. 68% of the apple juice is sold: 68%
c. 0.475 of the cake are sold: 0.475 = 47.5%
Greatest percentage: 68% (apple juice)
2. Bananas received per break: 70
Extra bonus for reading 20 hours: 20% of 70 = 0.2 * 70 = 14
Total bananas: 70 + 14 = 84
3. Sticker length: 2 inches
Edge width: 3 ½ inches = 3.5 inches
Since 2 < 3.5, the sticker will fit in the center.
4. a. 60 orange candies purchased out of 100: 60/100 = 0.6 = 60%
b. 38% of the bananas purchased: 38%
c. 0.589 of the grapes purchased: 0.589 = 58.9%
Greatest percentage: 60% (orange candies)
