Question

Kayla's Burgers cooks its burgers either well done or medium. Last night the restaurant served 50 burgers in all, 15 of which were well done. What percentage of the burgers were well done?

Answer 1

Answer:
`30 \%` of the burgers were well done

Explanation:

Firstly, we are told that a total of 50 burgers were served at Kayla's Burgers, this represents the
`100 \%`.

In additon, we are told 15 of that burgers were cooked well done and we need to know which percentage they represent. This can be calculated by the Rule of Three as follows:

`50 burgers`-----
`100 \%`

`15 burgers`-----
`X`

Then:

`X=((15 burgers)(100 \%))/(50 burgers)`

`X=30 \%` This means that
`30 \%` of the burgers were well done
