Answer 1

60%

Explanation:

Write this as a fraction first or just simply divide it out

15/25 = 0.6

OR

15/25 = 3/5 = 0.6

Multiply this by 100 to change it to a percentage

0.6*100 = 60%

Answer 2

37.5% of the ice cream cups are vanilla

62.5% of the ic cream cups are chocolate

Explanation:

15 + 25 = 40

15/40 = .375

0.375x 100 = 37.5

Then do the same for the chocolate to get that percentage.
