To find the percent of flour in the chocolate cake, we need to calculate the proportion of the flour to the total weight of all the ingredients.
The total weight of the ingredients is 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 pounds.
To find the percent of flour, we divide the weight of the flour (1 pound) by the total weight (4 pounds) and multiply by 100.
(1 / 4) * 100 = 25%
Therefore, the percent of flour in the chocolate cake is 25%.
