multiply it?

Don't multiply--this is a division question, and then you convert the division answer to a percentage.

This is a mathematical question. What you are asking is if you had 3000 hens and they produced 150 eggs, what is the percentage of hens to eggs?

To figure this out, take the 150 eggs and divide by the number of chickens, 3000. This can be written as a fraction: 150/3000. Remember a fraction is just another way to write a division problem. So you can either reduce the fraction, or do the division (which would be a bit easier in this case).

Therefore150/3000 = 0.05

BUT, this is just part of the equation! You are asked for percentages! Which is how any number relates to 100 (or 100%). So, you would then need to take the answer and multiply it by 100

0.05 x 100 = ?

An alternate way to change the number to a percentage, would be to move the decimal place 2 places to the right.

Once you get that number, which is the answer, don't forget to add the percentage sign (%)--this is a percentage answer, after all.

This is a two-part question, to get an answer, and then make sure that you have that answer expressed in the correct terms--percentages. That is the "trick" to doing percentages, make sure that you have done all that needs to be mathematically done to get to the correct answer.
