2. A breakfast cereal is made of oats, nuts, and raisins. The advertisements boast that 25% of the cereal in each box is almonds. If each box contains 12 cups of cereal, how many cups of almonds are in each box?

3. A breakfast cereal is made of oats, nuts, and raisins. Each box contains 12 cups of cereal, and 4 cups are oats. What percentage of each box is oats?

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The advertisements boast that 25% of the cereal in each box is almonds. It means that the percentage of the other cereals in the box is 100 - 25 = 75%

Therefore, the portion of each box that is not almonds is 75/100 = 0.75

2) The advertisements boast that 25% of the cereal in each box is almonds. If each box contains 12 cups of cereal, then the number of cups of almonds in each box is

25/100 * 12 = 3 cups

3) if each box contains 12 cups of cereal, and 4 cups are oats, then the percentage of each box that is oats is

4/12 * 100 = 33.33%
