Question

A factory made 750 packs of gum. 195 of the packs contained mint-flavored gum. What percentage of the packs contained mint gum?

Answer 1

26% of 750 packs of gum contained mint-flavored gum

Explanation:

To solve for percentages you have to divide 195/750

195 divided by 750 is 0.26

To make a number into a fraction you have to move the decimal two spots to the right to make the number into 26.00 (26)

That means 195 out of 750 is 26%

Answer 2

Percentage

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow (Mint)/(Total)* 100`

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow (195)/(750)* 100`

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow (195(2))/(15)`

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow (390)/(15)`

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 26\%`
