Given the statement:
Jill is baking cookies for her class. 60% of the cookies are oatmeal and 10% are chocolate chip are sugar cookies.
Determine how many sugar cookies are there if Jill bakes 200 cookies.
Solution:
In order to determine the number of sugar cookies, we simply take 10% of 200. This can be done by multiplying the decimal value of 60% to 200.
In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 10/100
= 0.1
= (0.1)(200)
= 20
Final answer:
20 cookies are sugar cookies.
