Question

At the banquet 450 people had chicken and 150 had pasta. What percent of people has pasta?

Answer 1

25 percent of people had pasta.

First add 450 and 150 (which equals 600)

Next divide 600 by 150 (which equals 4)

Which means 150 is a fourth of six hundred, and a fourth is 25 percent.

Which leads to my answer of 25 percent
