Question

Sam has a party with snacks. One bowl of snacks has a mixture of fish crackers. There are 15 pretzels, 3 orange, 5 yellow, and 7 green fish crackers in the bowl.

What percent of the fish crackers are yellow?

Answer 1

Answer: 33.3% approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

Ignore the 15 pretzels. We're only focusing on the fish crackers.

3 orange + 5 yellow + 7 green = 15 total fish crackers

Of that total, 5 are yellow.

So approximately 5/15 = 1/3 = 0.333 = 33.3% of the crackers are yellow.
