Answer:

Apple Pie = 66.67%

Cherry Pie = 16.67%

Peach Pie = 16.67%

A possible distribution of pie percentages could be 66.67% apple, 16.67% cherry, and 16.67% peach.

Explanation:

Let's assume that the bakery has 1 peach pie. Then, according to the problem statement, the bakery has 4 apple pies.

So, the total number of pies is 1 + 4 + 1 = 6.

To find the percentage of each type of pie, we need to divide the number of each type of pie by the total number of pies and multiply by 100%.

Percentage of apple pies: (4/6) x 100% = 66.67%

Percentage of cherry pies: (1/6) x 100% = 16.67%

Percentage of peach pies: (1/6) x 100% = 16.67%

Therefore, a possible distribution of pie percentages could be 66.67% apple, 16.67% cherry, and 16.67% peach.

It is important to note that this is just one possible distribution based on the information given in the problem. If we were given different information, such as the total number of pies, the percentages could be different.
