Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

so

3 cupcakes had sprinkles

27 didn't have sprinkles

which means that there are a total of 30 cupcakes, (because 3 + 27 is 30)

so then set up a proportion

part/whole = percent/one hundred

substitute in the given values

3 / 30= precent/100

simplify

1/10 = precent/100

you don't have to use cross products here because it is pretty obvious that 10 * 10 = 100 so then just multiply 1/10 by 10 and you get your answer

percent = 10
