Question

A bag of gum drops contains 14 orange gumdrops, 8 yellow gumdrops, and 12 black gumdrops. What is the percentage of yellow gumdrops?

Answer 1

Percentage of yellow gumdrops=(number of yellow gumdrops /total number of gumdrops)*100

Data:
Number of yellow gumdrops=8
Total number of gumdrops=14+8+12=34

Percentage of yellow gumdrops=(8/34)*100=(8*100)/34≈23.53%

Answer: we have the next percentage form yellow gumdrops: 23.53%

Answer 2

Answer:

23,53 %

Explanation:

To know the percentage first we will add the gumdrops of all the colors that exist, this is 14 + 8 + 12 that gives a total of 34 gumdrops, then the percentage of the yellow gumdrops will be given by the following equation % = (yellow gumdrops / gumdrops total) * 100. Replacing the data we will have % = (8/34) * 100, this gives us a total of % = 23.53.
