Q. Bob's Gift Shop sold

250

cards for Mother's Day. One salesman, Arturo, sold

10 \%

of the cards sold for Mother's Day. How many cards did Arturo sell?

\newline

Answer:

Identify total cards sold: Identify the total number of cards sold and the percentage sold by Arturo. $\newline$ Arturo sold $10\%$ of the total cards sold for Mother's Day, which were $250$ cards.
Calculate Arturo's sales: Calculate the number of cards Arturo sold. $\newline$ To find out how many cards Arturo sold, we need to calculate $10\%$ of $250$ . $\newline$ $10\%$ of $250$ is calculated as $(\frac{10}{100}) \times 250$ .
Perform calculation: Perform the calculation. $\newline$ $(\frac{10}{100}) \times 250 = 0.10 \times 250 = 25$ $\newline$ Arturo sold $25$ cards.
