In a jar there are 3 yellow candies, 3 blue candies, and 2 orange candies. What percent of the jar is filled with orange candies?

Answer: 25 percent of the jar is filled with orange candies

Step-by-step explanation:

In the jar, there are 3 yellow candies, 3 blue candies, and 2 orange candies. This means that the total number of candies inside the jar would be the sum of the yellow, blue and orange candies. It becomes

3 + 3 + 2 = 8 candies.

The percent of the jar filled with orange candies would be expressed as

number of orange candies/total number of candies * 100

It becomes

2/8 * 100 = 25%
