Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Team D used a recipe that consists of 20 cups of sand, 2 cups of flour, and 3 cups of water.

Question asked:

How does the percent of sand in Team D's recipe compare to that of the other teams ?

Solution:

Team D used a recipe that consists of sand = 20 cups

Team D used a recipe that consists of flour = 2 cups

Team D used a recipe that consists of water = 3 cups

Total number of cups together = 20 + 2+ 3 =25 cups

Now we will have to find percent of cups of sand out of the total number of cups.

By using formula of percentage,

Percent = [tex]\frac{Value}{Total \ value}\times100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{20}{25} \times100\\=\frac{2000}{25} =80\%[/tex]

Therefore, 80% of sand in Team D's recipe compare to that of the other teams.
