Answer 1

The answer is 9 persent

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of bonbons be 'x'

chocolate bonbons = 10% of x = 10x/100 = x/10

remaining bonbons = (100 - 10)% of x = 90% of x = 90x/100 = 9x/10

unsquashed bonbons = (100 - 90)% of 9x/10 = 10% of 9x/10 = 9x/100 = 9% of x

∴ percentage of the bonbons that is vanilla flavoured and that are not squashed is 9%
