Example Question #11 : How To Find The Whole From The Part With Percentage

10 percent of a cake weights 20 ounces. The entire cake is cut into 8 pieces. How many ounces does each piece weigh?

Possible Answers:

ounces

Correct answer:

ounces

Explanation:

If 10 percent of the cake weights 20 ounces, then the entire cake will weigh 200 ounces, because 10 times 20 is 200.

If the cake has 8 slices, then each slice will weigh (in ounces) 200 divided by 8. 200 divided by 8 is 25; therefore, 25 ounces is the correct answer.
