Answer 1

75%

Explanation:

Large = 12 buttons

To Find:

What percentage of the buttons were large?

Solution:

Since, we know that it asking for percentage(%) of buttons were large. As well as total is 16 buttons and 12 button were large.

Thus,

Formula : a/b × 100

Let's

a = 12

b = 16

Therefore,

12/16 × 100

.75 × 100

= 75%

Hence, the percentage of the buttons that Rita bought were large is 75%
