Deshaun needs to make a total of 60 deliveries this week. So far he has completed 12 of them. What percentage of his total deliveries has Deshaun completed?

Solution

To find the percentage of deliveries Deshaun has completed, follow these steps: Determine the total number of deliveries Deshaun needs to make, which is 60. Determine the number of deliveries he has completed, which is 12. Use the formula for percentage: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Completed Deliveries}}{\text{Total Deliveries}} \right) \times 100 \] Substitute the values: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{12}{60} \right) \times 100 \] Calculate the fraction: \[ \frac{12}{60} = 0.2 \] Multiply by 100: \[ 0.2 \times 100 = 20 \] Deshaun has completed 20% of his deliveries.
