Herky found that 8 out of every 100 beans in his garden were nibbled by rabbits. How many beans can he expect to be damaged if there are 450 beans in his garden?
Answer
A
18 beans
B
108 beans
C
36 beans
D
72 beans
Explanation
The damaged fraction is 8 out of 100, or 8%. Find 8% of 450: 0.08 × 450 = 36. Herky can expect 36 beans to be damaged, so the correct choice is 36 beans.
