Answer:

216

Step-by-step explanation:

300 -> 100% (Total candies)

___ -> 72% (NOT Blue candies)

___ -> 28% (Blue candies)

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

What is percentage change?

By quantifying the difference between two numbers and expressing it as an increase or decrease, the Percentage Change Calculator (percent change calculator) may determine the percentage change.

The initial price $V_{1}$ (100%) was decreased by 10%., then this reduced price is reduced more by 20% that becomes the final price $V_{2}$ which is 72.
