Question

During one waiters shift he delivered 13 appetizers, 17 entrées, and 10 desserts what percentage of the dishes he delivered were: A. Desserts B. Appetizers  C. entrees

Answer:

A)Desserts = 25 %

B)Appetizers = 32.5 %

C)Entrées =  32.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of appetisers = 13

Number of entrees =   17

Number of  desserts = 10

A. percentage of the dishes he delivered were Desserts

Percentage  of Desserts = $\frac{\text{ Number of dessert}}{\text{ total number of dishes}} \times 100$

Total number  of dishes = 13 + 17 + 10 = 40

Percentage  of Desserts = $\frac{10}{40} \times 100$

Percentage  of Desserts = $0.25 \times 100$

Percentage  of Desserts  =  25 %

B. percentage of the dishes he delivered were Appetizers

Percentage  of Desserts = $\frac{\text{ Number of Appetizers }}{\text{ total number of dishes}} \times 100$

Percentage  of Desserts = $\frac{13}{40} \times 100$

Percentage  of Desserts = $0.325 \times 100$

Percentage  of Desserts  =  32.5 %

C. percentage of the dishes he delivered were Entrées

Percentage  of Desserts =  $\frac{\text{ Number of Entrees }}{\text{ total number of dishes}} \times 100$

Percentage  of Desserts = $\frac{17}{40} \times 100$

Percentage  of Desserts = $0.425 \times 100$

Percentage  of Desserts  =  42.5 %
