Question

Samantha had 500 jars of slime 30% green 25% clear and 15% purple the rest of the jars of slime were blue how many jars were blue

Answer 1

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

100% represents 500 jars

Subtract the sum of the percentage of other jars  for percent of blue jars

100 - (30 + 25 + 15) = 100 - 70 = 30%

That is 30% of the jars are blue

Calculate 30% of 500 to obtain number of blue jars

30% = $\frac{30}{100}$ = 0.3, hence

number of blue jars = 0. 3 × 500 = 150
