Question

Natalie prepared 260 boxes of cookies for a fundraiser. If she sold 60% of the boxes, how many boxes of cookies were sold for the fundraiser?

• A. 100
• B. 156
• C. 160
• D. 200

Answer 1

The correct option is B 156

Total number of boxes Natalie prepared = 260

She sold 60% of the boxes.

60% of 260 = $\frac{60}{100}\times 260$

= 156

Thus, she sold 156 boxes of cookies for the fundraiser.
