Your answer is: 31.25%

Let's first Identify the important numbers.

A bakery sells 15 chocolate pies and 33 pumpkin pies. What is the percentage of pies sold with chocolate?

Now, let's add.

15c + 33p = 48.

(C standing for chocolate pies, and p for pumpkin pies.)

Now we know that 48 is the total number of the pies.

48t = 100% of the pies.

(t standing for total of pies)

Let's divide the number of chocolate pies, and the total number of pies...

15c divided by 48t = 31.25%

Therefore, the percentage of chocolate pies sold is 31.25%.

I apologize if this is incorrect. I hope you have an amazing day and good luck on your studies!
