Question

gretta is a baker and is using some of her oil in a new recipe. the shaded portion in the strip diagram below represents how much of her oil she is using in the new recipe. what percentage of her oil will she have left after finishing the new recipe? oil available

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total parts

The strip diagram has 4 equal parts (3 shaded, 1 unshaded). So total parts = 4.

Step2: Determine remaining parts

Unshaded (remaining) parts = 1.

Step3: Calculate percentage

Percentage left = $\frac{\text{Remaining Parts}}{\text{Total Parts}} \times 100\% = \frac{1}{4} \times 100\% = 25\%$.

Answer:

25%
