Q. For a company picnic, Dustin ordered a box of fresh-baked gingerbread cookies and sugar cookies. He got 9292 cookies in all. 4646 of the cookies were gingerbread. What percentage of the cookies were gingerbread?\newlineWrite your answer using a percent sign (%).\newline____\_\_\_\_
  1. Identify total cookies: First, let's identify the total number of cookies and how many of those were gingerbread. Total cookies = 9292, Gingerbread cookies = 4646.
  2. Calculate percentage: Next, to find the percentage of gingerbread cookies, use the formula: (Number of gingerbread cookies/Total number of cookies)×100(\text{Number of gingerbread cookies} / \text{Total number of cookies}) \times 100.
  3. Find gingerbread cookies: Calculate the percentage: (46/92)×100=50%(46 / 92) \times 100 = 50\%.
