Question

In a class of 20 students, 5 prefer Sprite and 15 prefer Coca Cola. What percent of the students prefer Sprite? **

Answer 1

The calss has a total of 20 students. 5 of the students prefer Sprite, while the rest prefer Coca Cola.

Then the percent of students that prefer Sprite is calculated using the formula:

`\text{percent = }\frac{\text{fraction that prefers Sprite}}{\text{total number of students}}\cdot100=(5)/(20)\cdot100=25\text{ \%}`

Therefore, 25% of the students prefer Sprite.
