Question

9) Aunt Rosie made 50 pies for Mardi Gras.

She made 10 apple pies.
She made 12 pecan pies.
She made 8 chocolate cream pies.
What percent of the pies were pecan?

Answer 1

24%

Explanation:

Use Percent equation (p = n w) or part of the whole = percentage times the whole

so we would have

12 = n 50

12/50 = n

0.24 = n

0.24 = 24%
