2. on thursday, a restaurant serves iced tea to 35 of its 140 customers. what percent of the customers order iced tea?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the percentage formula

The formula for percentage is $\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100%$. Here, the part is the number of customers who ordered iced - tea (35), and the whole is the total number of customers (140).

Step2: Substitute values into the formula

Substitute the values: $\text{Percentage}=\frac{35}{140}\times100%$. First, simplify $\frac{35}{140}=\frac{35\div35}{140\div35}=\frac{1}{4}$. Then, $\frac{1}{4}\times100% = 25%$.

Answer:

25%
