A container's volume is 480 cubic feet. If 65% is used by goods, how many cubic feet are occupied?

156

240

312

The main idea is to convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply by the total volume to find the portion that’s occupied. 65% as a decimal is 0.65, so multiply 0.65 by 480: 0.65 × 480 = 312. You can also think of it as 60% of 480 (288) plus 5% of 480 (24), which also sums to 312. So 312 cubic feet are occupied.
