Question

In a box of eight donuts, two have pin sprinkles. Express the percent of the donuts in the box that have pink sprinkles.

Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

We can rephrase the question like this :

2 is what percentage? of 8

let p be the percentage

then

2 = 8 × p%

= 8 × (p/100)

then

200 = 8p

then

p = 200/8 = 25
