Maggie bought cupcakes for her sister's birthday party. 12 out of the 40 cupcakes had sprinkles on top. What percentage of the cupcakes had sprinkles

30 %

Here are step-by-step instructions showing you how we calculated 12 out of 40 as a percentage:

The first step is to divide 12 by 40 to get the answer in decimal form:

12 / 40 = 0.3000

Then, we multiplied the answer from the first step by one hundred to get the answer as a percentage:

0.3000 * 100 = 30.00%

The Y-intercept is showing how many candy bars were sold in 2000 since x is every year after 2000 (hope that makes sense)
