Question

A total of 40 parents volunteered to bring a cake for the Holiday fair.Of the 40 volunteers that brought cake,10 of them brought two cakes. Out of all the cakes at the holiday Fair , 30% were chocolate. How many cakes were chocolate?

Answer 1

Answer:

15!

Step-by-step explanation:

so 40 people volentered to bring cakes, but 10 brought 2. So (30*1)+(10*2)=50 cakes. So, 30 percent of 50 cakes would be 15. To double check, times 50 by 100 and then 30 percent would become 30 (making super sure the actual answer is 15)
