In hopes of encouraging healthier snacks at school, Leah brought in a tray of carrot sticks
and apple slices to share. She brought 18 carrot sticks and 27 apple slices. What percentage
of the snacks were carrot sticks?

Respuesta :

Answer:

40 %  of the snacks were carrot sticks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of carrot sticks in lunch = 18

Total number of apple slices in lunch = 27

So, Total Snacks in the Lunch = Carrot Sticks + Apple Slices

                                                   = 18 +  27 = 45

Now, [tex]\textrm{Percentage of Carrot Sticks}  = \frac{\textrm{The number of Carrot sticks in lunch}}{\textrm{Total snacks in the lunch}}  \times 100[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{18}{45}  \times100 = 40[/tex]

⇒Percentage of Carrot Sticks = 40%

Hence, 40 %  of the snacks were carrot sticks.
