Question

At your first wedding event, you sold 240 total
tacos. 40 of these were your chicken taco. What
percent of your sales was your chicken taco?​

Answer 1

16.666 percent of your sales were your chicken taco.

To calculate what 40 out of 240 represents in percentage, proceed by cross-multiplication. Consider that:

• 240 represents 100 (for 100%, since it is the total)
• 40 represents the percentage you are supposed to find.

Multiply 40 by 100 and then divide the result by 240:

$\frac{40*100}{240} = 16.666$
