1 answer

To find the percentage of customers who put chocolate creamer in their coffee, we first need to determine the total number of customers and the number of customers who chose chocolate creamer.

According to the information provided:

  • The number of customers who put vanilla creamer: 2
  • The number of customers who put chocolate creamer: 6

Now, we can calculate the total number of customers:

Total customers = Vanilla + Chocolate Total customers = 2 + 6 = 8

Next, we determine the percentage of customers who chose chocolate creamer:

Percentage of customers who put chocolate creamer = (Number of customers with chocolate creamer / Total customers) × 100 Percentage = (6 / 8) × 100 = 75%

Therefore, the percentage of customers who put chocolate creamer in their coffee during this hour is 75%.

The answer is D 75%.
