John, paul, and george gather aluminum and tin cans to exchanges for money at the local recycling plant. one day, the three men decided to combine their findings for the day. john collected 3.25 pounds of cans, paul collected 6 1/3 pounds of cans, and george managed to collect the most with 11 1/6 pounds of cans. what percent of the total amount of cans did george collect? round your answer to the nearest percent.

To find the percent of the total that George collected, you need to create a ratio with the number of pounds George collected compared to the number of total pounds that were collected.

You will then divide these to find the part (decimal) that George collected. You can convert the decimal to a percent.

3 1/4+6 1/3+11 1/6 = 20 3/4 total pounds of cans.

11 1/6 George
20 3/4 total

11 1/6÷20 3/4 = 0.538
0.538 is approximately 54%.

George collected proximately 54% of the total amount of cans.
