How do you set up a proportion or percent bar to solve this problem? at a local amusement park, 70% of the rides are made for kids who are 48 inches or taller. If there are 80 rides in total, how many are made for kids who are 48 inches or taller?

Respuesta :

Proportion

Part      x    =   70%            100·x = 100x      80·70 = 5600
Whole 80        100%

         100x  5600
         100         100

               x  = 56
There are 56 rides made for kids who are 48 inches or taller.
