The 6th grade is trying to raise $500 for a new 3D printer. So far, they have raised $235. What percentage of the money has the 6th grade already raised?
47%.
Assemble a fraction: 235/500.
Solve: 0.47
Move the decimal two places to the right to get a percentage.
Then you get 47%
The answer is 47%
If you take the amount of money raised ($235) and put it over the total amount of money ($500), 235/500 will result in the decimal 0.47, and you can change that to a percentage by moving the decimal two places to the right
