Question

Deandre has completed 34 deliveries so far this week. He needs to make 68 deliveries for the week. What percentage of his deliveries has Deandre completed?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of deliveries Deandre has completed, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage of deliveries completed} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of completed deliveries}}{\text{Total deliveries needed}} \right) \times 100
\]

In Deandre's case:

- Number of completed deliveries = 34
- Total deliveries needed = 68

Now plug the numbers into the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage of deliveries completed} = \left( \frac{34}{68} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating the fraction:

\[
\frac{34}{68} = 0.5
\]

Now multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:

\[
0.5 \times 100 = 50
\]

Therefore, Deandre has completed **50%** of his deliveries.
