Question

#2 The lunch choices last Friday were mushroom or pepperoni pizza. The cafeteria made 57 mushroom pizzas and 38 pepperoni pizzas. What percentage of the pizzas were mushroom pizzas?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of pizzas that were mushroom pizzas, you must divide the number of mushroom pizzas by the total number of pizzas. To find the total number of pizzas, we must add the number of mushroom and pepperoni pizzas together.

57 + 38 = 95

Next, we can complete our division.

57/95 = 0.6

Finally, we should multiply by 100. This is because to convert a decimal to a percentage, we must move the decimal point two places to the right so that this value is out of 100 total percent.

0.6 * 100 = 60%

Therefore, 60% of the total pizzas are mushroom.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

60% of the pizzas were mushroom pizzas.
To find this, you add up 57 and 38 to find the total number of pizzas, then divide 57 (number of mushroom pizzas) by 95 (the total). This will give you 0.6, which you miltiply to get a percent. Thus getting 60% as the final answer.

I hope this helps!
