Question

At a bake sale, students sold 145 chocolate chip cookies, 95 oatmeal cookies, and 87 sugar cookies. What percent of the cookies sold were oatmeal? Round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

29.05% of cookies sold were oatmeal cookies.

Explanation:

Students sold chocolate chip cookies = 145

Students sold oatmeal cookies = 95

Students sold sugar cookies = 87

Total cookies sold = 145+ 95 + 87

Total cookies sold= 327

The formula used to find percentage is :
`Percentage = (part)/(whole)*100`

Now, finding percent of the cookies sold that were oatmeal

Percentage of oatmeal cookies sold =
`(95)/(327)*100`

Percentage of oatmeal cookies sold = 29.05 %

So, 29.05% of cookies sold were oatmeal cookies.
