Solution

To find the percentage of the mixture that is made up of chocolate chips, you need to divide the amount of chocolate chips by the total amount of the mixture, and then multiply by 100 to convert the decimal to a percentage. Here are the steps:

  1. Divide the amount of chocolate chips by the total amount of the mixture: 55 cups / 1515 cups = 0.0363036303630363

  2. Multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage: 0.0363036303630363 * 100 = 3.63%

So, the recipe needs approximately 3.63% chocolate chips.
