You can put this solution on YOUR website! Starts with 220 yards of fencing. In the morning 80 yds is put up.
SO,
220-80=140. Then 40% of remaining (140) is put up.
140*.40=56. What is percentage put up in that one day??
140+56=196 To find percentage divide amount used by beginning amount.
196/220=.89 or 89%
Good Luck!
