Ms. Macy's has 9 apples in her food bowl. She uses 6 of the apples to bake a pie. What percent of her apples did she use for the pie?

Question

Someone help me please I am stuck on this problem I really need help

 

Answer 1

She started with 9 and used 6, so she used 6 out of 9, which is 6/9 of the total.  Now set up a proportion to convert the 6/9 to percent:

 

6 → 9

x → 100

 

x = 6 * 100 / 9  ≅ 67

 

She used 67% of the apples.
