Question

At Mimi's Restaurant, 10 out of 25 customers order wheat rolls. The rest of the customers order cornbread. Which number represents the part of the customers who order cornbread?

A. 60%
B.2\5
C.0.42
D.15%

Answer 1

10 of the 25 customers ordered wheat rolls. The remaining ordered cornbread.

`Cornbread = 25 - 10 \\ 25 - 10 = 15`

15 customers ordered cornbread.

`15 / 25 = 0.6`

0.6 is the same as 60%. The only difference is that 60% is in percent form.

To change a decimal to a percent, move the decimal point 2 places to the right and add a percent sign.

`0.6 \rightarrow 60 \%`

Your answer is A. 60%
