Question

I have 96 coffee mugs, I sold 86 of them. What percentage of the mugs did I sell in total?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of coffee mugs you sold, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Percentage Sold} = \left( \frac{\text{Number Sold}}{\text{Total Number}} \right) \times 100
\]

In your case:

- Number Sold = 86
- Total Number = 96

Now plug in the values:

\[
\text{Percentage Sold} = \left( \frac{86}{96} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating the fraction:

\[
\frac{86}{96} \approx 0.8958
\]

Now multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

\[
0.8958 \times 100 \approx 89.58
\]

Therefore, you sold approximately **89.58%** of the coffee mugs.
