Thank you
No.
Think about it. 25% or 1/4 of 20 = 5.
100(6/20) = ?
30% which is also C., right @Ms. Sue ?
So is it 30%
To determine the percentage of children who chose peanut butter, we need to calculate the percentage based on the total number of children who made a choice and the number of children who chose peanut butter.
First, find the total number of children:
Total Children = Children who chose Chocolate chip + Children who chose Peanut butter + Children who chose Oatmeal
= 10 + 6 + 4
= 20
Next, find the number of children who chose peanut butter:
Children who chose Peanut butter = 6
Now, calculate the percentage of children who chose peanut butter:
Percentage = (Number of children who chose peanut butter / Total number of children) x 100
= (6 / 20) x 100
= 0.3 x 100
= 30%
So, the answer is C. 30%. The correct option is C, not B.
