Of the 200 packages of bagels sold, 15 of them are sesame seed bagels. What percent of the bagel packages sold are sesame seed bagels?

The fraction [tex]\frac{15}{200}[/tex] represents the number of sesame seed bagel packages out of all the packages.

To find out what percent are sesame seed bagel packages, we can turn the fraction [tex]\frac{15}{200}[/tex] into a percent.

We can first reduce the fraction [tex]\frac{15}{200}[/tex] by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 15 and 200 using 5.

15 ÷ 5 = 3

200 ÷ 5 = 40

0.075 × 100 = 7.5%

Therefore, 7.5% of the bagel packages sold were sesame seed bagels.
