Q. Edgar's Burgers cooks its burgers either well done or medium. Last night the restaurant served

40

burgers in all,

4

of which were well done. What percentage of the burgers were well done?

\newline

Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

\newline

_____

Identify Total Burgers: Step $1$ : Identify the total number of burgers and the number of well-done burgers. $\newline$ Total burgers: $40$ $\newline$ Well-done burgers: $4$ $\newline$ We need to find the percentage of burgers that were well done using the formula: $\newline$ Percentage = $(\text{Number of well-done burgers} / \text{Total number of burgers}) \times 100$
Substitute Values: Step $2$ : Substitute the values into the formula. $\newline$ Percentage = $(4 / 40) \times 100$ $\newline$ Simplify $4 / 40$ to get $0.1$
Find Percentage: Step $3$ : Multiply $0.1$ by $100$ to find the percentage. $\newline$ $0.1 \times 100 = 10$ $\newline$ So, $10\%$ of the burgers were well done.
