Question

A total of 40 parents volunteered to bring a cake for the Holiday fair.Of the 40 volunteers that brought cake,10 of them brought two cakes. Out of all the cakes at the holiday Fair , 30% were chocolate. How many cakes were chocolate?

Answer 1

There were 40 cakes in total at the holiday fair, and 12 of them were chocolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many cakes were chocolate, we first need to determine the total number of cakes at the holiday fair. Out of the 40 parents that volunteered, 10 of them brought two cakes, so we have 40 - 10 = 30 parents who brought one cake each. Therefore, there are 30 + 10 = 40 cakes in total at the holiday fair.

Since 30% of the cakes were chocolate, we can calculate the number of chocolate cakes by multiplying the total number of cakes by the percentage. So, 40 * 0.30 = 12 cakes were chocolate at the holiday fair.

Answer 2

15!

Step-by-step explanation:

so 40 people volentered to bring cakes, but 10 brought 2. So (30*1)+(10*2)=50 cakes. So, 30 percent of 50 cakes would be 15. To double check, times 50 by 100 and then 30 percent would become 30 (making super sure the actual answer is 15)
