She wants to know what percent of the corn she sold.
Complete the table to show an equivalent ratio where the number of ears at the start is 100 .
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline Corn Sold & 150 & \\
\hline Corn at Start & 250 & 100 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. Isabelle starts with 250 ears of corn.
2. Isabelle sells 150 ears of corn.
3. We need to find the percentage of corn sold.
4. We need to complete the table to show an equivalent ratio where the number of ears at the start is 100.
STEP 2
1. Calculate the percentage of corn sold.
2. Set up the equivalent ratio.
3. Complete the table.
STEP 3
Calculate the percentage of corn sold by dividing the number of ears sold by the number of ears at the start and then multiplying by 100.
STEP 4
Perform the calculation.
STEP 5
Set up the equivalent ratio using the given table values.
STEP 6
Solve for to complete the table.
Multiply both sides by 100 to find the equivalent number of ears sold when starting with 100 ears.
STEP 7
Calculate the equivalent number of ears sold.
The completed table is:
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
Corn Sold & 150 & 60 \\
\hline
Corn at Start & 250 & 100 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
