Gavin likes to make a protein shake each morning.
To prepare his protein shake, Gavin combines three containers of protein powder with a fourth container containing a mixture of:
15% chia seeds
85% protein powder
All the containers have the same volume.
What percentage of Gavin’s protein shake is chia seeds?
Answer:
¼ of the protein shake is made up of the 4th container.
To find 15% of the ¼ we can multiply ¼ by 0.15
¼ x 0.15 = 0.0375, then to find as a percentage we multiply by 100
0.0375 x 100 = 3.75%
Answer: 3.75%
