Eli is making soup for his family. He adds 3 cups of vegetables, 4 cubs of broth, 1 cup of chicken and 2 cups of noodles to the soup, what percent of the soup is vegetables

Answer 1

To find the percentage of the soup that is vegetables, we first need to calculate the total volume of the soup.

Eli adds the following ingredients:

• Vegetables: 3 cups
• Broth: 4 cups
• Chicken: 1 cup
• Noodles: 2 cups

Now, let's calculate the total volume:

\[ \text{Total volume} = 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 = 10 \text{ cups} \]

Next, we find the percentage of the soup that is vegetables. The formula for percentage is:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case, the "part" is the volume of vegetables (3 cups) and the "whole" is the total volume of the soup (10 cups):

\[ \text{Percentage of vegetables} = \left( \frac{3}{10} \right) \times 100 = 30% \]

Therefore, 30% of the soup is vegetables.
