a) 75%
b) 80%
c) 60%
d) 50%

Answer 1

75% of the items in container one are mini chocolate chips when we add three scoops of mini chocolate chips and one scoop of raisins, considering each scoop has the same number of items.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate what percent of the items in container one are mini chocolate chips, we must first understand that three scoops of mini chocolate chips and one scoop of raisins have been added to the container. Since each scoop is assumed to have the same number of items, we can say that there are 3 parts mini chocolate chips and 1 part raisins, for a total of 4 parts.

If we have three parts of mini chocolate chips out of a total of four parts (three parts chocolate chips + one part raisins), we calculate the percentage as follows: (3 parts mini chocolate chips / 4 total parts) * 100 = 75%.

Therefore, the answer to the question is that 75% of the items in container one are mini chocolate chips, which corresponds to answer option (a).
