Given the statement:
The audience thinks 30% of Brandon's jokes are funny.
Determine the fraction of Brandon's jokes that the audience thinks are funny.
Solution:
Since we are given a percentage, we must convert it first into decimal. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 30/100
= 0.3
Now to convert a decimal into fraction, we divide it according to its place value, 0.3 is in the tenths place therefore, we make 3 as a whole number and divide it by 10.
= 3/10
Final answer:
3/10 of Brandon's jokes are funny.
