Question

Last week, Austin's Diner sold 2 milkshakes with whipped cream on top and 23 milkshakes without whipped cream. What percentage of the milkshakes had whipped cream?

Answer 1

8%

Explanation:

You want to know what percentage of milkshakes had whipped cream if 2 had whipped cream and 23 didn't.

Percentage

The fraction of the total number that had whipped cream is ...

2/(2+23) = 2/25

The percentage is found by multiplying the fraction by 100%:

2/25 × 100% = 8%

8% of the milkshakes had whipped cream.
