Q. Last Wednesday, students could choose ham or turkey sandwiches for lunch. The cafeteria made 5656 sandwiches in all, 1414 of which were turkey. What percentage of the sandwiches were turkey sandwiches?\newlineWrite your answer using a percent sign (%\%).\newline_____
  1. Calculate Total Sandwiches: First, let's figure out the total number of sandwiches and how many of those were turkey.
  2. Calculate Turkey Sandwich Percentage: Next, we need to calculate the percentage of turkey sandwiches. We use the formula: (Number of turkey sandwiches/Total number of sandwiches)×100(\text{Number of turkey sandwiches} / \text{Total number of sandwiches}) \times 100.
  3. Find Percentage: Now, let's do the math to find the percentage.
