Marcy's Cafe has regular coffee and decaffeinated coffee. This morning, the cafe served 60 coffees in all, 33 of which were regular. What percentage of the coffees were regular?

Answer 1

55%

Explanation:

Percentage of regular coffees =
`(33)/(60)` × 100%

= 55%

Answer 2

55%

Explanation:

To find the percentage of regular coffees, divide 33 by 60, and multiply that by 100:

(33/60) x 100

0.55 x 100

= 55

So, 55% were regular
