three friends are sharing 36 terry states that he wants 25% of the cookies. Gary wants 1/2 of the cookies and terry wants 0.75 of the cookies how many cookies does each person get? can they each get what they want?
No !
Let s look how much they want:
36×0.25+36×0.5+36×0.75=54
Or 36 is 100% so let s look how many percent they want:
1/2 is 50%
0.75 is 75%
25%+50%+75%=150%
