Question

jasmine has a collection of 80 seashells. of all the seashells in her collection, 35% of them are white. how many of jasmine’s seashells are white? enter the correct answer in the box. seashells

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find 35% of 80, we first convert 35% to a decimal by dividing by 100. So, \( 35\% = \frac{35}{100} = 0.35 \).

Step2: Multiply by total number of seashells

Now, we multiply this decimal by the total number of seashells (80) to find the number of white seashells. The formula is \( \text{Number of white seashells} = 0.35 \times 80 \). Calculating this, \( 0.35 \times 80 = 28 \).

Answer:

28
