Answer:

216

Step-by-step explanation:

300 -> 100% (Total candies)

___ -> 72% (NOT Blue candies)

___ -> 28% (Blue candies)

Next:

28% = 0.28

300 x 0.28 = 84

84 = Number of candies that are Blue

300 -> 100% (Total candies)

___ -> 72% (NOT Blue candies)

84   -> 28% (Blue candies)

Now:

300 - 84 = 216

300 -> 100% (Total candies)

216 -> 72% (NOT Blue candies)

84 -> 28% (blue candies)

216 equals the number of candies that are NOT Blue

the larger of two positive numbers is 5 more then the smaller. The product of the numbers is 66. find the numbers
Serjik [45]

Answer: 30.5 and 35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a system of linear equations to find out the answer to this problem. The larger number will be x and the smaller number will be y.

x=y+5

x+y=66

Substitute y+5 in for the bottom equation to get y+5+y=66. Simplify to get 2y+5=66. Subtract 5 from both sides and get 2y=61. Divide by 2 to get y=30.5. This is the smaller number. Add 5 to get the bigger number, which is 35.5
