Question

A factory made 30 packs of mint-flavored gum and 470 packs of fruit-flavored gum. What percentage of the packs contained mint gum?

Answer 1

To find out what percentage of packs contain mint gum you must add the total amount of packs of gum.
30+470=500
Then you need to divide the total by 30.
30/500 =0.06
Move the decimal two places to get your percentage.
0.06 into 6%

Answer 2

6%
Because 100 divided by 500 is 0.2 and 0.2×30 is 6
