Parker wants to find out what the average percentage of kernels that pop in a bag is. In the first bag he makes, 60 kernels pop and the bag has 75 kernels. In the second bag, 42 kernels pop and there are 50 in the bag. In the final bag, 82 kernels pop and the bag has 100 kernels.
How many kernels pop in the first bag? ** In the first bag the proportion that pops is .8 because 60 / 75 = <<60/75=.8>>.8
How many kernels pop in the second bag? ** In the second bag the proportion that pops is .84 because 42 / 50 = <<42/50=.84>>.84
How many kernels pop in the third bag? ** In the third bag the proportion that pops is .82 because 82 / 100 = <<82/100=.82>>.82
What is the total proportion of kernels that pop? ** The proportions totals 2.46 because .8 + . 84 + .82 = <<.8+.84+.82=2.46>>2.46
What is the average proportion? ** The average proportion is .82 because 2.46 / 3 = <<2.46/3=.82>>.82
What is the average percentage? ** The average percentage is 82 because .82 x 100 = <<.82*100=82>>82
