Answer 1

Answer:

chicken:46

salad: 115

burgers: 92

fruit:138

Step-by-step explanation:

chicken: 575*8%=46

salad: 575*20%=115

burgers: 575* 16% =92

fruit:575*24%=138

Answer 2

Heya someone else already explained but I’ll give it a go too! :) so 575 is 100%
Therefore when
575 —> 100%
X—> 8%
Then you cross multiply, 100x= 575x8
X= (575x8)/100.
That’s the mount of students for chicken :) continue this system to get the other values, hope this helped <3
