Q. To celebrate the first day of school, Kathleen brought in a tray of caramel brownies and walnut brownies. She brought 2828 brownies in all. 1414 of the brownies were caramel. What percentage of the brownies were caramel?\newlineWrite your answer using a percent sign (%).\newline____\_\_\_\_
  1. Calculate caramel brownies: First, let's figure out how many brownies were caramel out of the total. We know Kathleen brought 2828 brownies in total and 1414 of these were caramel.
  2. Find percentage of caramel brownies: Next, to find the percentage of caramel brownies, we use the formula for percentage: (Number of caramel browniesTotal number of brownies)×100(\frac{\text{Number of caramel brownies}}{\text{Total number of brownies}}) \times 100. So, (1428)×100(\frac{14}{28}) \times 100.
  3. Determine total percentage of caramel brownies: Calculating that gives us (14/28)×100=0.5×100=50%(14 / 28) \times 100 = 0.5 \times 100 = 50\%. So, 50%50\% of the brownies were caramel.
