Answer 1

Answer:Percent distribution is:Apple: 25%

Cherry: 30%

Chocolate Cream: 15%

Pecan: 17.5%

Peach: 12.5%

Explanation:

Given,

Appple=20

Cherry=24

Chochlate cream=12

Pecan=14

Peach=10

Step 1: To find the total number of pie slices=

20 + 24 + 12 + 14 + 10 = 80

Step 2: Calculate the percentage for each type of pie slice.

Divide the number of pie slices for each type by the total number of pie slices, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

For apple pie slices:

20 / 80 = 0.25 or 25%

For cherry pie slices:

24 / 80 = 0.3 or 30%

For chocolate cream pie slices:

12 / 80 = 0.15 or 15%

For pecan pie slices:

14 / 80 = 0.175 or 17.5%

For peach pie slices:

10 / 80 = 0.125 or 12.5%

So, the percent distribution is:

Apple: 25%

Cherry: 30%

Chocolate Cream: 15%

Pecan: 17.5%

Peach: 12.5%
