At a bake sale, students sold 145 chocolate chip cookies, 95 oatmeal cookies, and 87 sugar cookies. What percent of the cookies sold were oatmeal? Round to the nearest tenth

Respuesta :

Answer:

29.05% of cookies sold were oatmeal cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Students sold chocolate chip cookies = 145

Students sold oatmeal cookies = 95

Students sold sugar cookies = 87

Total cookies sold = 145+ 95 + 87

Total cookies sold= 327

The formula used to find percentage is : [tex]Percentage = \frac{part}{whole}*100[/tex]

Now, finding percent of the cookies sold that were oatmeal

Percentage of oatmeal cookies sold = [tex]\frac{95}{327}*100[/tex]

Percentage of oatmeal cookies sold = 29.05 %

So, 29.05% of cookies sold were oatmeal cookies.
