    Answer: 37.5%

    Explanation:

    Percentage is defined as parts of an amount in 100 parts of a basis. This must be stated mathamatically for better understanding and for calculations. It is the ratio:

    % = (parts / base) * 100.

    In this case you need to express the amount of butter as a part in 100 parts of all purpose flour, which, using the above definition, is:

    % butter = (0.75 pounds of butter / 2 pound of flour) * 100

    % butter = 0.75 * 100 / 2 = 75 / 2 = 37.5

    The answer is expressed as 37.5%.
