Question

Paris bought a variety box of oatmeal. In the box were 4 brown sugar cinnamon packets, 2 apple cinnamon packets, 6 maple brown sugar packets, and 4 plain packets. What percent of the oatmeal packets were brown sugar cinnamon-flavored?

Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

So first we add up all of the oatmeal packets to find out our denominator or our total packets

4+2+6+4=16 oatmeal packets

next we need to find the numerator or packets in a certain group aka the brown sugar cinnamon packets which is 4 packets

now we put our numerator 4 over our denominator 16 to get 4/16

4/16 can be simplified to 1/4, 1/4 in percent form is 25%

Answer 2

25%

Explanation:

All together there are 16 packets

4 of these are brown sugar cinnamon

4/16 = 1/4
