Question

Mei's Diner sold 230 milkshakes last week. 69 of the milkshakes had whipped cream on top. What percentage of the milkshakes had whipped cream?

Answer 1

30%

Explanation:

Mei's Diner sold 230 milkshakes last week.

69 of the milkshakes had whipped cream on top.

The percentage of the milkshakes that had whipped cream = number of milkshakes that had whipped cream ÷ total number of milkshakes × 100

i.e Percentage of milkshakes that had whipped cream =
`(69)/(230)` × 100 = 30%

Answer 2

30%

Explanation:

To know the percentage you times the fraction with 100

So

`(69)/(230) * 100 = 30`

Since you have 69 milkshakes with whipped cream out of the 230 milkshakes. And you times it with 100
