Q. Last Wednesday, students could choose ham or turkey sandwiches for lunch. The cafeteria made

Calculate Total Sandwiches: First, let's figure out the total number of sandwiches and how many of those were turkey.
Calculate Turkey Sandwich Percentage: Next, we need to calculate the percentage of turkey sandwiches. We use the formula: $(\text{Number of turkey sandwiches} / \text{Total number of sandwiches}) \times 100$ .
