Question

Liz brought chocolate and vanilla cupcakes to school for her birthday. 18 students picked a vanilla cupcake and 42 students picked a chocolate cupcake. What percentage of the students picked a vanilla cupcake?

Answer 1

First, find the total number of students. There are 60 students total in the class. Now, do 18/60. This is .3. From here, multiply that by 100. 30% of students chose vanilla cupcakes. Hope this helped!
