Jacob bought 30 eggs and William bought 20 eggs. What percentage of the total number of

eggs did Jacob buy?

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total number of eggs bought.

Add together what Jacob bought and what William bought.

Jacob bought 30 eggs and William bought 20 eggs

30+20

50

Next, find the percentage that Jacob bought.

Divide the part by the whole, or what Jacob bought by the total number of eggs bought.

part/whole

jacob's eggs/total eggs

Jacob bought 30 eggs and the total was 50 eggs

30/50

0.6

Convert 0.6 to a percent by multiplying by 100 or moving the decimal place two spots to the right

0.6*100=60

0.6--> 6.0--> 60.

So, Jacob bought 60% of the total number of eggs
