Answer 1

Answer:40%

Step-by-step explanation: 200/500=?/100

2/5 x 20/20= 40/100

40%

Answer 2

20%

Explanation:

200 mocha flavored cupcakes of the 500 cupcakes were sold. (200/500).

Reduce to 2/5. Then multiply 20/20 to 2/5 and get 20/100.

20% cupcakes were mocha flavored.

The logic behind me rewriting the fraction to 20/100 was because 200/500 could easily be divided be 100 and 5.
