Jada brought chocolate and vanilla cupcakes to school for her birthday. 75 students decided to take a cupcake, and 33 of them picked vanilla. What percentage of the students picked a vanilla cupcake?

To find the percentage of students who picked a vanilla cupcake, you can use the formula for percentage:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of students who picked vanilla}}{\text{Total number of students}} \right) \times 100
\]

In this case, 33 students picked vanilla out of a total of 75 students. Plugging these numbers into the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{33}{75} \right) \times 100 = 44\%
\]

So, 44% of the students picked a vanilla cupcake.
