Percentage formula:

$\text{Percentage of part} = \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole} }\times 100$

$\text{Chocolate chip }\%=\frac{49}{82}\times100$

                            = 59.76%

Percent of student like chocolate chip is 59.76%.

$\text{Peanut butter}\%=\frac{12}{82}\times100$

                          = 14.64%

Percent of student like peanut butter is 14.64%.

$\text{Oatmeal}\%=\frac{10}{82}\times100$

                = 12.19%

Percent of student like oatmeal is 12.19%.

$\text{Sugar}\%=\frac{8}{82}\times100$

             = 9.76%

Percent of student like sugar is 9.76%.

$\text{Raisin}\%=\frac{3}{82}\times100$
