Question

A bakery makes 40 different flavors of muffins. 25% of the flavors have chocolate as one of the ingredients. Draw a tape to show how many flavors have chocolate and how many don't?

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

A bakery makes 40 different flavors of muffins.

25% of the flavors have chocolate as one of the ingredients.

Convert 25% to fraction:

$25\%=\dfrac{25}{100}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

So, there are

$40\cdot \dfrac{1}{4}=10$

muffins which have chocolate as one of the ingredients.

In attached tape diagram:

green - with chocolate

blue - without chocolate

Answer 2

Answer:

10 flavors with chocolate.

30 flavors without chocolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of flavors is 40.

25% of the flavors have chocolate.

To find the number of flavors which have chocolate, we just need to multiply 0.25 by 40, because 0.25 represents 25%

$0.25(40)=10$

So, there are 10 flavors with chocolate.

Now, if 25% represents flavors with chocolate, then 75% represents flavors without chocolate

$0.75(40)=30$

So, there are 30 flavors without chocolate.
