Question

Please help with this math problem

Answer 1

Hi,

since this is percentage, so 50 pound is 100% and since 20 pound was already removed then what's left is 30 pound. So the question now is, 30 pound is how many percent of 50 pound?

Formula is 30/50 which is .6 or 60%.

ANSWER: What's left in the bag is 60% only.
