Question

A bakery makes 40 different flavors of muffins. 25% of the flavors have chocolate as one of the ingredients. Draw a tape to show how many flavors have chocolate and how many don't?

Answer 1

10 flavors with chocolate.

30 flavors without chocolate.

Explanation:

The total number of flavors is 40.

25% of the flavors have chocolate.

To find the number of flavors which have chocolate, we just need to multiply 0.25 by 40, because 0.25 represents 25%

`0.25(40)=10`

So, there are 10 flavors with chocolate.

Now, if 25% represents flavors with chocolate, then 75% represents flavors without chocolate

`0.75(40)=30`

So, there are 30 flavors without chocolate.

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

A bakery makes 40 different flavors of muffins.

25% of the flavors have chocolate as one of the ingredients.

Convert 25% to fraction:

`25\%=(25)/(100)=(1)/(4)`

So, there are

`40\cdot (1)/(4)=10`

muffins which have chocolate as one of the ingredients.

In attached tape diagram:

green - with chocolate

blue - without chocolate
