16.75
Step-by-step explanation:

The number right behind it is 8, which is greater than or equal to 5...

So basically you want to find the total percentage of cakes that weren't sponge cakes first.
You already have the 50% of party cakes. For the 1/5 percent of fruit cakes, you can multiply it by 20/20, to get 20/100, and then just take the 20 to get 20% that were fruit cakes.
Now you can just add the percentages together.
50% + 20% = 70%
So now you know 70% weren't sponge cakes, out of 100%.
So here you can just subtract 70% from 100% to figure out the remaining part of 100%, which must be sponge cakes.
100% - 70% = 30%
So 30% of the cakes were sponge cakes.
