Answer: 76%

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this percentage problem you must use this formula
Amount/Total * 100. The amount in this case it the 5320 jars of creamy peanut butter and the total is the sum of the creamy and chunky peanut butter.


5320/(5320+1680) * 100 is the setup

which equals

0.76 * 100

which is 76%
