b. What percent of tart cherries are not produced in this state?

Answer 1

Percent of not tart cherries = 21%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Production of cherry tart = 79

Find:

Percent of tart cherries

Percent of not tart cherries

Computation:

Percent of tart cherries = Production of cherry tart[100% / 100]

Percent of tart cherries = 79[100% / 100]

Percent of tart cherries = 79%

Percent of not tart cherries = 100% - Percent of tart cherries

Percent of not tart cherries = 100% - 79%

Percent of not tart cherries = 21%
