Question

In a jar there are 3 yellow candies, 3 blue candies, and 2 orange candies. What percent of the jar is filled with orange candies?​

Answer 1

Answer: 25 percent of the jar is filled with orange candies

Step-by-step explanation:

In the jar, there are 3 yellow candies, 3 blue candies, and 2 orange candies. This means that the total number of candies inside the jar would be the sum of the yellow, blue and orange candies. It becomes

3 + 3 + 2 = 8 candies.

The percent of the jar filled with orange candies would be expressed as

number of orange candies/total number of candies × 100

It becomes

2/8 × 100 = 25%
