Question

At middle school lunch in the cafeteria, 60% of the students pack a lunch and 40% buy a lunch. Of the students who pack a lunch, 70% have a cookie. What is the percent of the students who have a cookie at lunch?

Answer 1

42%

Explanation:

The computation of the percentage is shown below:

Here we assume that there are 100 students

So according to the question

60% of the students would pack the lunch i.e. 60 students

And, 40% of the students buy a lunch i.e. 40 students

Now the students who pack the lunch they have 70% of cookie

So, 70% of 60 students = 42 students

Now the percentage is

= 42 students ÷ 100 students

= 42%
