Question

A birthday cake is cut into 24 pieces.There are 6 pieces left after the party.What percentage of the cake was eaten?

Answer 1

PLEASE MARK BRAINLIEST! c:

Step-by-step explanation:

• A birthday cake is cut into 24 pieces --> this fraction will be out of 24 before it is simplified and turned into a percent.

• 6 pieces have been eaten, so 6 will be subtracted from 24 [24 - 6], to find the number of pieces eaten

24 - 6 = 18 pieces of cake eaten

So that means 18 out of 24 [ $\frac{18}{24}$ ] slices of cake were eaten.

$\frac{18}{24}$ simplifies to $\frac{3}{4}$

What is $\frac{3}{4}$ as a percent?

$\frac{3}{4}$ = 75%

So 75% of the cake was eaten.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

so there's 24 pieces and 6 are left so 18 were eaten which means

$\frac{18}{24}$

is you percentage because 18 divided by 24 is .75 then multiply by 100 to change it to percent so .75 times 100 is 75%
