Question: 410
4. A box of chocolates has 45 pieces. If 9 pieces have nuts in them, what percent of the chocolates are without nuts?
- A. 20%
- B. 45%
- C. 79%
- D. 80%
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D is correct. This problem needs to be completed in two steps. First, you need to determine what percent of chocolates have nuts and then subtract that from 100% to determine what percent do not have nuts. Dividing 9 by 45 gives the percent that have nuts, which is 20%. Subtracting that number from 100% gives the correct answer: 80% of the chocolates do not have nuts.
