Question

The 8th grade class sold snacks at lunch to earn money for a field trip. They sold 30 items this week. For each snack type, what percentage of all snacks sold were of that type? Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total number of snacks sold by 8th grade class = 30

Percentage of a particular snack sold =
`\frac{\text{Number of particular snack sold}}{\text{Total number of all snacks sold}} * 100`

Percentage of cookies sols =
`(6)/(30)* 100` = 20%

Percentage of cheese sticks sold =
`(8)/(30)* 100`

= 26.67%

Percentage of chips sold =
`(12)/(30)* 100`

= 40%

Percentage of water sold =
`(4)/(30)* 100`

= 13.33%
