Zack bought cupcakes for his sister's birthday party. 27 out of the 30 cupcakes had sprinkles on top. What percentage of the cupcakes had sprinkles?(this question is worth 100 points please help!)

Answer 1

Answer:

90%

Step-by-step explanation:

27/30 cupcakes

Set equal to x/100

27/30 = x/100

Cross-multiply (numerator * denominator / numerator * denominator)

27(100) = 30(x)

2700 = 30x

270 = 3x

x = 90

90%
