Answer 1

To find the percent of the soup that is vegetables, you need to divide the amount of vegetables by the total amount of soup and then multiply by 100.

The total amount of soup is 3 cups of vegetables + 4 cups of broth + 1 cup of chicken + 2 cups of noodles = 10 cups of soup.

The amount of vegetables is 3 cups.

Therefore, the percentage of the soup that is vegetables is (3 cups / 10 cups) * 100% = 30%.
