Question

Last Wednesday, students could choose ham or turkey sandwiches for lunch. The cafeteria made 81 turkey sandwiches and 9 ham sandwiches. What percentage of the sandwiches were turkey? Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Answer 1

11.1%

Explanation:

x/100 = 9/81

cross multiply

81x = 9(100)

divide both sides by 81

x = 11.1 (rounded)

Answer 2

The amount of turkey probably is approximately 94%
