Question

To celebrate the first day of school, Bobby brought in a tray of caramel brownies and walnut brownies. He brought 24 caramel brownies and 76 walnut brownies. What percentage of the brownies were caramel?

Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Answer 1

Answer: 24%

Step-by-step explanation

24 caramel out of 24+76 = 100 total

24/100 = 24%

"Percent" means "per 100". When you divide over 100, the percent value is the same as the number up top.
