Question

2. In his trick or treat bag, Jackson has forty candy bars, fifteen pieces of gum and ten lollipops. find the

percentage of each type of treat.​

Answer 1

see the procedure

Explanation:

we know that

To find out the percentage of each type of treat, divide the number of each treat by the total number of treats and multiply by 100

so

The total number of treats is equal to

(40+15+10)=65

Percentage of candy bars

`(40)/(65) (100)=61.54\%`

Percentage of pieces of gum

`(15)/(65) (100)=23.08\%`

Percentage of lollipops

`(10)/(65) (100)=15.38\%`
