You would put 1/8 ounces in total equaling to x/100. Then you would multiply 1 by 100 and divide 100 by 8 to get the answer of 12.5%. Hope this helps.

Answer: 12.50%

Explanation:

Trail mix= peanuts + raisins + chocolate

Peanuts=4

Raisins=3

Chocolate =1

Trail mix = 4+3+1=8

% of chocolate in trail mix is 1/8*100%

0.125*100%

12.5%
