a) 80.28%
b) 83.80%
c) 80.56%
d) 81.17%

Answer 1

To find the percentage of customers who enjoyed the new cookie flavor, divide the number of customers who liked the cookies by the total number of customers and multiply by 100%. The correct answer is 80.28%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of customers who enjoyed the new cookie flavor, we divide the number of customers who liked the cookies by the total number of customers and then multiply by 100%. In this case, 114 customers liked the cookies out of 142 total customers:

Percentage of customers who enjoyed the new cookie flavor = (114/142) x 100% ≈ 80.28%

So, the correct answer is option a) 80.28%.
