Answer:
percentage of the dishes were desserts = 37.5%
percentage of the dishes were entrees = 25%
percentage of the dishes were appetizers = 37.5%
Total percentage = 100%
Explanation:
Desserts = 15
Entrees = 10
Appetizers = 15
Total dishes = desert + entrees + appetizers
= 15 + 10 + 15
= 40
What percentage of the dishes were desserts?
= 15 / 40 × 100
= 0.375 × 100
= 37.5%
What percentage of the dishes were entrees?
= 10 / 40 × 100
= 0.25 × 100
= 25%
What percentage of the dishes were appetizers?
= 15 / 40 × 100
= 0.375 × 100
= 37.5%
What do your percentages add up to?
Total percentage = 37.5% + 25% + 37.5%
= 100%
