Answer 2

18.75%

Explanation:

Mr. Potts, the college Pastry Chef baked pies for the student fundraiser.

He baked apple pies = 3

Blueberry pies = 2

Cherry pies = 5

Key lime pies = 6

We have to calculate the percentage of the apple pies.

Total number of pies that he baked = 3 + 2 + 5 + 6 = 16 pies

Percentage of Apple pies =
`(3)/(16)` × 100

= 0.1875 × 100

= 18.75%

18.75% was apple pie.
