Question

Max had both chocolate cake and coconut cake at his birthday party. there were 16 people at the party, and 4 of them picked chocolate cake. what percentage of the people at the party picked chocolate cake?

Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

percent = part/whole × 100%

The "part" is the number of people who picked chocolate cake.

part = 4

The "whole" is the total number of people.

whole = 16

percent = 4/16 × 100%

percent = 0.25 × 100%

percent = 25%

Answer: 25%
