Q. In hopes of encouraging healthier snacks at school, Akira brought in a tray of carrot sticks and apple slices to share. She brought 5050 snacks in all. 1515 of the snacks were carrot sticks. What percentage of the snacks were carrot sticks?\newlineWrite your answer using a percent sign (%\%).\newline_____
  1. Set up equation: Step 11: Set up the equation to find the percentage of carrot sticks.\newlineWe know the total number of snacks is 5050 and the number of carrot sticks is 1515. We use the formula:\newlinePercentage = (Part\text{Part} / Whole\text{Whole}) ×\times 100100\newlineHere, Part\text{Part} = 1515 and Whole\text{Whole} = 5050.
  2. Calculate percentage: Step 22: Substitute the values into the formula and calculate.\newlinePercentage = (15/50)×100(15 / 50) \times 100\newlinePercentage = 0.3×1000.3 \times 100\newlinePercentage = 30%30\%
