Question

a baker has 50 pounds of flour. she uses 12 pounds of flour to make bread . what percent of flour does she use????????¿

Answer 1

 12 is what percent of 50?                                                                            12 is P% of 50                                                                                  Equation: Y = P% * X                                                                                      solving our equation for P
P% = Y/X
P% = 12/50
p = 0.24   Convert decimal to percent:
P% = 0.24 * 100 = 24%

Answer 2

24%.  Because 12 divided by 50 times 100 is 24.
