Okay, I haven't calculated this yet, so let me do it: the numbers we have are 25, 18 and 7 = 50 Next, divide each value by the total and multiply by 100 to get a percent:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, we have to calculate 18 (which is the vanilla) divided by fifty times by 100. What do we get?

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Vanilla received 18 out of 50 responses of \[\frac{ 18 }{50 }\] change this to a percentage by multiplying by 100 \[\frac{ 18 }{ 50 } \times 100 = 36\] vanilla is 36% of the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Gravity_Dreams Can you calculate that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup there you go, yana done it, thirty-six percent.

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

:D. That would be your answer:D It was just an easier way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks once again :)

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):
