Question

Katie made desserts for a bake sale at her school. At the bake sale, she sold 5 brownies and 15 cookies. What percent of the desserts that Katie sold were cookies? Please help me .

Answer 1

Percent of cookies to total desserts = 75%

Explanation:

Given:

Number of brownies sold by Katie = 5 brownies

Number of cookies sold by Katie = 15 cookies

Find:

Percent of cookies to total desserts

Computation:

Number of total desserts = 5 brownies + 15 cookies

Number of total desserts = 20 desserts

Percent of cookies to total desserts = [Number of cookies sold by Katie / Number of total desserts]100

Percent of cookies to total desserts = [15 / 20]100

Percent of cookies to total desserts = [0.75]100

Percent of cookies to total desserts = 75%
