Question

the table shows the types of popcorn buckets sold at a concession station for one day. what percent of the buttered popcorn buckets were large

Answer 1

Hi there! The answer is about 23%

First we need to find the total amount of buttered popcorn sold. This is 182 + 140 + 97 = 419 buckets.

To find the percentage of the buttered popcorn buckets that were large, we use the following formula:
$\frac{part}{total} \times 100\%$

Filling in this formula brings us to our answer:
$\frac{97}{419} \times 100\% = 23.15$
Hence, the answer is about 23%
