The three clubs participating in a food drive decided that one club will be randomly picked to write about the food drive for the school paper. The chance to win is proportional to the number of cans collected by each club. If the selection is done by drawing chips from a box, which percent of the chips should represent club X?

Food Drive Results

how many for X?
How many in all?
If we divide 50 by 200 you get 200, Is that how you do it?
I meant to say if you divide 50 by 200 you get 25
No. 50 divided by 200 = 0.25
I understand that.....but in the question its asking for percent. So it would be 25%. I was referring to the question maam
You should have included the percent sign. Many math teachers would mark your answer wrong unless you had included the percent sign.

And 50 divided by 200 is NOT 25.
okay....I'm sorry. To be far in the question they ask for a percent but none of the options have a percent sign, the question that the teacher wrote.
OK. You were answering the question correctly.
