HELLPPP????? PLEASEEEESSSS
Chestnut Hill Coffee Cafe offers two kinds of espresso: single-shot and double-shot. Yesterday afternoon, the cafe sold 46 espressos in all, 26 of which were single-shot. What percentage of the espressos were double-shot? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{43.48 \, \%}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating percentage is

$\text{Percentage} = \dfrac{\text{Part }}{\text{Whole}} \times 100 \, \%$

The "part" is the number of single-shot espressos

The "whole" is the total number of espressos.

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Total espressos} & = & 46\\\text{-Single-shot espressos} & = & 26\\\text{Double-shot espressos} & = & 20\\\end{array}$

$\text{ \% Double-shot}=\dfrac{20}{46} \times 100 \, \% =\mathbf{43.48 \, \%}\\\\\boxed{\mathbf{43.48 \, \%}} \text{ of the espressos were double-shot}$
