Question

What percent is 1 dozen of 1 score?

Answer 1

Hint: We will first start by using the fact that 1 dozen = 12 items while 1 score = 20 items. Also, we will use that a is $\dfrac{a}{b}\times 100\; \text{percent}$ of b, and by using both of these facts finally we will solve the question for its answer.

Complete step-by-step solution -
Now, we have to find what percent is 1 dozen of 1 score. Now, we know that 1 dozen have 12 items of a particular type whereas 1 score has 20 items of a particular type.
Now, we know that to find what percent a is of b. We divide a by b and multiply by 100 to find the percentage. Hence, we have the percentage as $\dfrac{a}{b}\times 100=\dfrac{100a}{b}\%$.
Now similarly, we have to find what percent is 1 dozen of 1 score. So, we have to find what percent is 12 items of 20 items. So, we have it as,
$ \dfrac{12}{20}\times 100
 =60\% $
Hence, 1 dozen is 60% of 1 score.

Note: It is important to note that to solve the question we have used some facts like 1 dozen = 12 items and 1 score = 20 items. Also, it is important to note that to find the percentage a of b we have multiplied $\dfrac{a}{b}\ by\ 100$.
