24% because you would make a ratio like x/100 = 2,160/9000. So basically the x is the percentage you need, 100 is just an easy factorable percent, and 2,160 is the wheat bread and 9000 is all the bread. Basically what you do with this ratio is you cross multiply. This means you multiply 2,160 by 100 and divide by 9000 and that's your percent
