At a meeting, 15 lunches are prepared for 15 people, but 5 more people arrive. What portion will each one get?
Question
Answer:
Since 5 more people arrived at the meeting, there will be a total of 20 people who will share the food for lunch.
Now, find the portion of food each one will get, denoted as p.
In fraction:
$$ p=\frac{15}{20}=\frac{3}{4} $$
In percentage:
$$ p=\frac{15}{20}\times100\%=75\% $$
