Question

To make a cake, we use 200 g sugar, 200 g butter, 100 g egg yolk, 200 g flour, and 100 g milk. What percentage of butter is present in the cake?

• A. 21 %
• B. 23 %
• C. 25 %
• D. 27 %

Answer 1

The correct option is C

25 %

Total weight of the Ingredients = (200+200+100+200+100) = 800 g

Quantity of butter = 200 g

Percentage of butter in the cake = $\frac{200}{800}$ $\times$ 100% = 25%
