A store has 40 bags of potato

chips on the shelf. Of those

bags, 30 are cheddar flavored.

What percentage of the bags

of potato chips are not

cheddar-flavored?

Write your answer and

explain why it is correct.

The percentage of the bags of the potato chips that are not cheddar-flavored is 25%. This is because there are 10 bags that are not cheddar-flavored and this divided by 40 bags, which is the total bags of the potato chips multiply by 100% gives 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 40 bags of potato chips and 30 are cheddar flavored, Then

40 - 30 = 10 bags are not cheddar flavored

Since the total bags is 40,

percentage potato chips that are not cheddar-flavored = 10/40 * 100%

= 25%
