Question

Answer 1

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Carrot sticks brought = 3

Apple slices brought = 12

Total snack = 3 + 12 = 15

% of carrot sticks of total snacks =

$\frac{3}{15} \times 100\% = \: \frac{1}{5} \times 100\% = 20\%$

Therefore, Carrot sticks are 20% of the total snacks .

Answer 2

Answer:

Here is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

So, percentage is anything as 100%

so, take 12 as 120% and

               3 as 30 %

now turn 120% into 100% by dividing with 2

       divide 30 by 2 as well and you get 15%

so, the apples were represented by 85% and the carrots by 15%
