Question: 1 / 400

If a box contains 12 chocolates and you eat 3, what percentage of the chocolates are left?

50%

66.67%

75%

To determine the percentage of chocolates left in the box after eating some, you first need to find out how many chocolates are remaining and then calculate what percentage that is of the original amount.

Initially, there are 12 chocolates in the box. After eating 3, the remaining number of chocolates is calculated as follows:

12 (original chocolates) - 3 (chocolates eaten) = 9 chocolates left.

Next, to find the percentage of chocolates left, you use the formula for percentage:

\[

\text{Percentage left} = \left( \frac{\text{Remaining chocolates}}{\text{Original chocolates}} \right) \times 100

\]

Substituting in the values we have:

\[

\text{Percentage left} = \left( \frac{9}{12} \right) \times 100 = 0.75 \times 100 = 75\%

\]

Thus, 75% of the original chocolates are still in the box after eating 3. This aligns perfectly with the calculation, demonstrating that the choice indicating 75% accurately reflects the situation.
