150 cans sold 72 cans what percentage of cans were sold

Answer 1

To calculate the percentage of cans sold, divide the number of cans sold by the total number of cans and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

Percentage = (Cans Sold / Total Cans) * 100

In this case, the number of cans sold is 72 and the total number of cans is 150.

Percentage = (72 / 150) * 100
Percentage = 0.48 * 100
Percentage = 48

Therefore, 48% of the cans were sold.
