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.
