Question
Postal Packages shipped a total of 120 packages last week, and 24 of them were shipped internationally. What percent of the packages were shipped internationally?
Solution
To find the percentage of packages shipped internationally, you need to follow these steps:
-
First, identify the total number of packages and the number of packages shipped internationally. From the problem, we know that 120 packages were shipped in total and 24 of them were shipped internationally.
-
Next, divide the number of packages shipped internationally by the total number of packages. So, 24 divided by 120 equals 0.2.
-
Finally, to convert this number into a percentage, multiply by 100. So, 0.2 times 100 equals 20.
Therefore, 20% of the packages were shipped internationally.
