i need to know the % of 136. I need to see how it is worked out.?

Question

here is the ?A rancher is planning to put up 220 yd of fencing. In the morning she puts up 80 yds, and in the afternoon she puts up 40% of the remaining fence. What % of the fence did she put up that day?

136yrds. is not the answer. The choices are A. 36%
B. 51%
C. 62%
D. 76%

Those are the choices. This ? is a mult. choice. I need a break down of this problem answer.

Answer 1

220 - 80 is 140 so 140 x 0.4 is 56 add 80 and 56 to be 136 as the total that day...136/220 is .62 or 62%

Answer 2

I read the question and from what i read i would have to go with this answer. 220 yds is the amt of fence needed to be installed. right? Then she put up 80yds and later she put up 40% of the left over fence which is 140 yrds. 40% of 140 is 56yrds. So your problem would be 80+56=136 which is what you have but your question is what % of the fence did she put up that day and this is how you figure that. 220 X 0.6182 = your answer of 136 yrd.

Answer 3

% of what? or what percent of 136?
You're missing a number.
Say you are looking for 25% of 136.
You put the percentage over 100
25% = 25/100
Reduce the fraction (if possible)
25/100 reduces to 1/4
Now take 136 and multiply it by that fraction (and reduce if possible)
(136)(1/4) = 136/4 = 34

Answer 4

786 makes sense but then so does 567 what r u asking ? now if you want a formula try 100 divided by 136 = .7352941 or the reverse is 136 divided by 100 = 1.36 ( this is the mathematical representation of 136%) which it seems is your ?

Answer 5

220-80=140
140*40%=56
80 yards=first
56 yards = second
136=last
136/220=0.6181=61.81%=62%

Answer 6

136/220 = .6181818.....

62%

Answer 7

What % of 136? You gotta give me something to work with.
