Declan is making a batch of cookies that contains eight cups of ingredients. Two cups of ingredients are sugar. What percent of the cookie ingredients are sugar?

Answer 1

To find the percent of the ingredients that are sugar, we divide the amount of sugar by the total amount of ingredients and then multiply by 100.

Number of cups of sugar = 2
Total number of cups of ingredients = 8

Percent of ingredients that are sugar = (Cups of sugar / Total cups of ingredients) x 100
= (2 / 8) x 100
= 0.25 x 100
= 25%

Therefore, 25% of the cookie ingredients are sugar.
