ok so the qustion says/is he store has 40 bags of potato chips on the shelf. Of those 30 bags are cheddar-flavored. What percentage of the bags of potato chips are cheddar-flavored. then we do 40-30=10 because the total of bags are 40 but 30 is chedder then we do 40-30=10
I understand your concern. Let's go through the calculation step-by-step to check for any errors.
To find the percentage of bags that are cheddar-flavored, we will first calculate the fraction.
Fraction of cheddar-flavored bags = Number of cheddar-flavored bags / Total number of bags
Fraction of cheddar-flavored bags = 30 / 40
Now, to convert this fraction to a percentage, we multiply it by 100.
Percentage of cheddar-flavored bags = (30 / 40) * 100
Percentage of cheddar-flavored bags = 75%
So, the correct percentage of bags that are cheddar-flavored is 75%.
It seems like there might be a small error in your calculation. Let's go through the steps again to find the correct answer.
To find the percentage of cheddar-flavored bags out of the total number of bags, you need to divide the number of cheddar-flavored bags by the total number of bags and then multiply by 100.
So the correct equation would be:
30 / 40 * 100 = ?
Dividing 30 by 40 gives us 0.75, and multiplying by 100 gives us 75. Therefore, the correct answer is that 75% of the bags of potato chips are cheddar-flavored.
Here's the step-by-step calculation:
30 / 40 = 0.75
0.75 * 100 = 75
So 75% of the bags of potato chips are cheddar-flavored.
Yep. Something is wrong.
30/40 = 3/4 = 0.75 = 75% are cheddar flavored
