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, 20% had a damaged candy coating. Approximately how many of the blue ones had a damaged candy coating?

Answer 1

60*20% are red
60*30% are orange
60*30% are green
60*20% are blue = 12 * 20% = 2.4 blue candy chocolates that are damaged

Answer 2

Approximately 2.4. Ignore all information that's not about the blue candies and the fact that there are 60 total. 20% of sixty is 12. 20% of 12 is 2.4. there are therefore approximately 2.4 blue candies that are damaged
