Question

Flo makes 84 cakes.

She sells 35 of these cakes.
Calculate the percentage of the cakes that she sells.

Answer 1

41.67 percent of the cakes she sells

Answer 2

41.67%

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage of the cakes that Flo sells, we can use the following formula:

`\sf \textsf{Percentage of cakes sold }= \frac{\textsf{Number of cakes sold }}{\textsf{ Total number of cakes}}* 100\%`

In this case: We have

• Number of cakes sold = 35 cakes
• Total number of cakes = 85 cakes

Plugging in the values, we get:

can use the following formula:

`\begin{aligned} \textsf{Percentage of cakes sold }& = (35)/(84)* 100\% \\\\ &= 0.4166666666666 * 100\% \\\\ &= 41.67 \textsf{( in 2 d.p)} \end{aligned}`

Therefore, Flo sells 41.67% of her cakes.
