Question

For a science experiment, Kayla left a pie of gummy bears in the sun. After several hours, she found that 12 of the gummy bears had melted. This accounted for 40% of the total number of gummy bears that she had left in the sun. How many gummy bears did Kayla leave in the sun?

Answer 1

Answer: 30 gummy bears

0.4x = 12

x = 12/0.4

x= 30
