Question

Type the correct answer in each box. use numerals instead of words. students in a reading class have three options for their book project: making a brochure, writing a news article, or designing a computer presentation. from past years, the teacher has determined that 20% of students usually choose to make a brochure, 30% of students usually choose to write a news article, and the remaining students usually choose to design a computer presentation. if the teacher uses 20 colored chips in three different colors to model this situation, how many colored chips should she use to represent each book project option?

Answer 1

The answers to the questions on how she would use the colored chips are given here:

• brochure 4 blue chips

• writing a new article 6 yellow chips

• designing a computer presentation 10 red chips

How to solve for the values

For the first percentage

20 / 100 = x/20

= 20 * 20 = 100x

400 = 100x

divide through by 100

x = 400/100

x = 4

For the second percentage

30/100 = x/20

600 = 100x

x = 600/100

x = 6

For the last

50/100 = x/20

1000 = 100x

x = 10

The proof is that 6 + 4 + 10 still gives us 20
