Given that
A farmer decides to sell 16 pounds of his small 48-pound potato crop.
We have to determine
What percent of the crop did he sell?
According to the question
A farmer decides to sell 16 pounds of his small 48-pound potato crop.
The percent of the crop he sells is determined by,
\(\rm = \dfrac{Total \ amount \ of \ crops \ he \ sells }{Total \ amount \ of \ crop}\)
Then,
The percent of the crop he sells is,
\(\rm = \dfrac{Total \ amount \ of \ crops \ he \ sells }{Total \ amount \ of \ crop}\\\\= \dfrac{16}{48}\\\\= \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\= 0.33\\\)
To convert the amount in percentage multiply by 100.
\(= 0.33 33\times 100\\\\= 33.33\)
Hence, The crop did he sells is 33.33%.
