What percentage of the load has been moved if 103 out of 177 boxes have been unloaded?

  1. 50%

  2. 58%

  3. 62%

  4. 75%

The correct answer is: 58%

To determine what percentage of the load has been moved, you divide the number of boxes that have been unloaded by the total number of boxes and then multiply by 100 to convert the fraction into a percentage. In this scenario, you've unloaded 103 boxes out of a total of 177 boxes. The calculation would be: (103 / 177) * 100 First, calculate the fraction: 103 ÷ 177 ≈ 0.5814 Next, multiply this result by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.5814 * 100 ≈ 58.14% When rounded, this result indicates that approximately 58% of the load has been moved. This matches the option selected, confirming its accuracy. The other options do not correspond to the calculated percentage from the given numbers, making the choice of 58% the correct conclusion based on the arithmetic presented.
