Question

In a package of 40 skittles, 35% were red. How many were not red?

Answer 1

First you would take 35% of 40:

.35 * 40 = 14

That's how many skittles ARE RED. Now, subtract 14 from 40:

40 - 14 = 26

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

40 skittles times the percent of red

40 * 0.35 = 14

We then take that then subtract that from the total.

40 - 14 = 26

26 skittles were red.

0.35 is equivalent to 35%
