Eli is making soup for his family. He adds 3 cups of vegetables, 4 cups of broth, 1 cup of chicken, and 2 cups of noodles to the soup. What percent of the soup is vegetables?
A. 33%
B. 3%
C. 30%
D. 300%
The total amount of ingredients in the soup is 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 = <<3+4+1+2=10>>10 cups.
To find the percent of the soup that is vegetables, divide the amount of vegetables by the total amount of soup ingredients and multiply by 100.
3 / 10 * 100 = 30%
Thus, the answer is C. 30%.
To find the percentage of vegetables in the soup, we need to compare the amount of vegetables to the total amount of soup.
The total amount of soup is 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 = 10 cups.
To find the percentage, we divide the amount of vegetables (3 cups) by the total amount of soup (10 cups) and multiply by 100%.
(3 cups / 10 cups) × 100% = 0.3 × 100% = 30%
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 30%
To determine the percent of the soup that is vegetables, we need to calculate the fraction of the soup that is vegetables and then convert that fraction into a percentage.
To do this, we will add up the total amount of each ingredient: 3 cups of vegetables, 4 cups of broth, 1 cup of chicken, and 2 cups of noodles.
The total amount of soup is 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 = 10 cups.
To find the fraction of the soup that is vegetables, we divide the amount of vegetables by the total amount of soup: 3 cups / 10 cups = 0.3.
To convert this fraction into a percentage, we multiply by 100: 0.3 × 100 = 30%.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 30%.
