Question

In hopes of encouraging healthier snacks at school, Zack brought in a tray of carrot sticks and apple slices to share. The tray had a total of 25 snacks, of which 12 were carrot sticks.
What percent were carrot sticks?
What percent were apple slices?

Answer 1

Answer:

48% were carrot sticks.

52% were apple slices.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total number of snacks in the tray = 25

Number of carrot sticks = 12

Number of apple slices = 25 - 12 = 13

Percent of carrot sticks = $\frac{Number\ of\ carrot\ sticks}{Total\ Number}*100$

Percent of carrot sticks= $\frac{12}{25}*100$

Percent of carrot sticks = 0.48 * 100 = 48%

Percent of apple slices = $\frac{13}{25}*100$

Percent of apple slices = 52%

Hence,

48% were carrot sticks.

52% were apple slices.
