<h2><em><u>Answer:</u></em></h2>

A) 210

B) 0.18

<h2><u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u></h2>

A) On Monday, 7/25 of the 750 are orange cakes. 7/25 x 750 = 210

B) If the proportion of orange cakes is 5/25 where 5 is correct to the nearest whole number, then the 4.5 would be the lowest number that would still be rounded up to 5. 4.5/25 = 0.18
