Q. At the sewing store, Hannah bought a bag of mixed buttons. The bag included

60

buttons, of which

70\%

were large. How many large buttons did Hannah get?

\newline

\_\_\_\_

large buttons

Identify total buttons and percentage: Step $1$ : Identify the total number of buttons and the percentage that are large. $\newline$ Total buttons = $60$ , Percentage of large buttons = $70$ % $\newline$ We need to calculate $70$ % of $60$ to find out how many are large. $\newline$ Calculation: $70\% \times 60$
Calculate number of large buttons: Step $2$ : Perform the calculation to find the number of large buttons. $\newline$ $0.70 \times 60 = 42$ $\newline$ So, Hannah got $42$ large buttons.
