Question

Kathleen had a bag of candy-coated chocolates. Of the 60 candies in the bag, 20% were red, 30% were orange, 30% were green, and 20% were blue. Of the blue ones, 10% had a damaged candy coating. Approximately how many of the blue ones had a damaged candy coating?

Answer 1

Answer:

≈ 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of candies = 60

number of Blue candies :

$60 \times 20\% \\ = 60 \times \frac{20}{100} \\ = 12$

Of the 12 Blue candies, number of candies which had damaged candy coating is:

$12 \times 10\% \\ = 12 \times \frac{10}{100} \\ = 1.2$

So, approximately 1.2 Blue candies had damaged candy coating.
