Clara bought 24 donuts for the office. If 6 of the donuts were chocolate, what percent of the donuts were chocolate.
The fraction [tex]\frac{6}{24}[/tex] represents the donuts that are chocolate out of all the donuts.
To find what percent of donuts are chocolate, we can turn the fraction [tex]\frac{6}{24}[/tex] into a percent.
We can first reduce this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 6 and 24 using 6.
6 ÷ 6 = 1
24 ÷ 6 = 4
Our reduced fraction is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex].
1 ÷ 4 = 0.25
0.25 × 100 = 25%
Therefore, 25% of the donuts that Clara bought were Chocolate.
