A birthday cake is cut into 24 pieces.There are 6 pieces left after the party.What percentage of the cake was eaten?

(Be careful when you explain your answer!)

Respuesta :

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

so there's 24 pieces and 6 are left so 18 were eaten which means

[tex] \frac{18}{24} [/tex]

is you percentage because 18 divided by 24 is .75 then multiply by 100 to change it to percent so .75 times 100 is 75%

PLEASE MARK BRAINLIEST! c:

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A birthday cake is cut into 24 pieces --> this fraction will be out of 24 before it is simplified and turned into a percent.
  • 6 pieces have been eaten, so 6 will be subtracted from 24 [24 - 6], to find the number of pieces eaten

24 - 6 = 18 pieces of cake eaten

So that means 18 out of 24 [ [tex]\frac{18}{24}[/tex] ] slices of cake were eaten.

[tex]\frac{18}{24}[/tex] simplifies to [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

What is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] as a percent?

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] = 75%

So 75% of the cake was eaten.

I hope this helps!
