To find the percentage of flour in the chocolate cake, we need to calculate the ratio of flour to the total weight of the cake:
Weight of flour = 1 pound
Total weight of the cake = 1 pound of sugar + 1 pound of butter + 1 pound of eggs + 1 pound of flour = 4 pounds
Percentage of flour = (Weight of flour / Total weight of the cake) * 100
= (1 / 4) * 100
= 25%
Therefore, the percentage of flour in the chocolate cake is 25%.
Answer: D) 25%
