The percentage of the students picked a vanilla cupcake is 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Anita brought chocolate and vanilla cupcakes to school for her birthday, and 64 students decided to take a cupcake, and 48 of them picked vanilla, to determine what percentage of the students picked a vanilla cupcake the following calculation must be performed:

64 = 100

48 = X

48 x 100/64 = X

4,800 / 64 = X

75 = X

Therefore, the percentage of the students picked a vanilla cupcake is 75%.
