Question

bobs gift shop sold 550 cards for mothers day. one salesman, anand, sold 4% of the cards sold for mothers day. how many cards did anand sell?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find 4% of a number, we first convert 4% to a decimal. 4% is equivalent to $0.04$ (since $4\%=\frac{4}{100} = 0.04$).

Step2: Multiply by total number of cards

The total number of cards sold is 550. To find the number of cards Anand sold, we multiply the total number of cards by the decimal equivalent of the percentage. So we calculate $550\times0.04$.
$550\times0.04 = 22$.

Answer:

22
