Answers
Given :-
- The student council hosted a bake sale of the 40 items brought to the cell 18 were brownies.
To Find :-
- what percent in a bake sale were brownies ?
Solution :-
Given that,
→ Total items brought in bake sale were = 40
and,
→ Total brownies on these items were = 18 .
we have to find what % of bake sale were brownies or we have to tell 18 is what % of 42.
in order to find the % , we multiply the number by 100 and divide the result by total value .
So,
→ Total % of brownies = (Number of brownies * 100) / (Total items)
→ Total % of brownies = (18 * 100) / 42
{ dividing numerator and denominator by 6 } .
→ Total % of brownies = (3 * 100) / 7
→ Total % of brownies = (300) / 7
Now, we have to divide 300 by 7 .
Dividing by long division method now :-
7 ) 300 (42
-28
20
-14
6
→ Quotient = 42
→ Remainder = 6
Therefore,
→ Total % of brownies = 42(6/7) % (Ans.)
Hence, 42(6/7)% in a bake sale were brownies .
