Question

The ratio of strawberry to banana batter is 2:3. we need 30 cups of batter total. what percent of the cake is banana?

Answer 1

Answer:

60% of the cake is banana .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}$

As given

The ratio of strawberry to banana batter is 2:3.

we need 30 cups of batter total.

Let us assume that x be the scalar multiple of the strawberry to banana batter .

Total banana batter = 3x

Total strawberry batter = 2x

2x + 3x = 30

5x = 30

$x = \frac{30}{5}$

x = 6

Total banana batter = 3x

                                 = 3 × 6

                                 = 18 cups

Part value = 18

Total value = 30

Put all the values in the formula

$Percentage = \frac{18\times 100}{30}$

$Percentage = \frac{1800}{30}$

Percentage = 60%

Therefore 60% of the cake is banana .

Answer 2

We only need the percent

straberry:banana=2:3
2+3=5

banana=3 units
3/5=0.60=60%

60% is banana
and also 18cups is banana
