Question

A bag has 8 bagels. Three of the bagels are cranberry. What percent of the bagels are cranberry? Pls show work.

Answer 1

if we take 8 to be the 100%, what is 3 off of it in percentage?


`\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 8&100\\ 3&p \end{array}\implies \cfrac{8}{3}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{3\cdot 100}{8}`

Answer 2

The answer is 37.5%

100/8/3 = 37.5
