The 8th grade class sold snacks at lunch to earn money for a field trip. They sold 30 items this week. For each snack type, what percentage of all snacks sold were of that type? Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of snacks sold by 8th grade class = 30
Percentage of a particular snack sold = [tex]\frac{\text{Number of particular snack sold}}{\text{Total number of all snacks sold}} \times 100[/tex]
Percentage of cookies sols = [tex]\frac{6}{30}\times 100[/tex] = 20%
Percentage of cheese sticks sold = [tex]\frac{8}{30}\times 100[/tex]
= 26.67%
Percentage of chips sold = [tex]\frac{12}{30}\times 100[/tex]
= 40%
Percentage of water sold = [tex]\frac{4}{30}\times 100[/tex]
= 13.33%
