Question

Denise bought a box of 560 pieces of candy.4/5 of the pieces of the candy were fruity and 1/4 of the remaining pieces of candy were mint.How many of candy of the other flavors were there?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of Other flavor candy is 84.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

A total of 560 pieces of candy are there in the box.

$\frac{4}{5}$ of the pieces are fruity.

Number of Fruity pieces:

$\dfrac{4}{5} \times 560\\\Rightarrow 4 \times 112 =448$

Now, remaining pieces = Total pieces - Fruity pieces

remaining pieces = 560 - 448 = 112

Also given that $\frac{1}4$ of the remaining pieces are mind.

Number of mint pieces:

$\dfrac{1}{4}\times 112 = 28$

Other flavors remaining = Total pieces - Fruity pieces - Mint pieces

Other flavors remaining = 560 - 448 - 28

Other flavors remaining = 112 - 28 = 84

Number of Other flavor candy is 84.
