Explanation:

Given:

In total snacks type item sold is 32.

Fruit cup items sold is 8.

Veggie sticks items sold is 6.

Chips item sold is 14.

Water items sold is 4.

To find:

percentage of each snack time sold = ? i.e

percentage of fruit cup = ?

percentage of Veggie sticks = ?

percentage of chips = ?

Percentage of water =?

Solution:

Formula for Percentage of any item

`\textrm{percentage of any item}=\frac{\textrm{number of items}}{\textrm{total number of items}}* 100`

∴
`\textrm{percentage of fruit cup}=\frac{\textrm{number of fruit cup}}{\textrm{total number of items}}* 100`

`= (8)/(32)* 100\\ =(100)/(4)\\ =25\%`

∴
`\textrm{percentage of with veggie sticks}=\frac{\textrm{number of veggie sticks}}{\textrm{total number of items}}* 100`

`= (6)/(32)* 100\\ =(600)/(32)\\ =18.75\%`

∴
`\textrm{percentage of chips}=\frac{\textrm{number of chips}}{\textrm{total number of items}}* 100`

`= (14)/(32)* 100\\ =(1400)/(32)\\ =43.75\%`

∴
`\textrm{percentage of water}=\frac{\textrm{number of water}}{\textrm{total number of items}}* 100`

`= (4)/(32)* 100\\ =(400)/(32)\\ =12.5\%`
