Answer:

216 candies are not red

Step-by-step explanation:

300 = Total candies

28% = Percent of candies that are red

100% - 28% = 72%  

72% = Percent of candies that are NOT red

My personal preference for setting up this type of question:

300 -> 100% (Total candies)

___ -> 72% (NOT red candies)

___ -> 28% (Red candies)

Next:

28% = 0.28

300 x 0.28 = 84

84 = Number of candies that are red

300 -> 100% (Total candies)

___ -> 72% (NOT red candies)

84   -> 28% (Red candies)

Now:

300 - 84 = 216

300 -> 100% (Total candies)

216 -> 72% (NOT red candies)

84 -> 28% (Red candies)

216 equals the number of candies that are NOT red.

Answer:

84 are red, 216 are non red

Step-by-step explanation:

if the bag has 300 pieces, then that's 100% of the sum of red + non red candies

28/100 x 300 = 84 are red

300 - 84 = 216 are non red

I dont know what example 3 is so I cant answer according to that

HELP ME PLEASE!
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

26% is (26-20)/(50-20) = 6/30 = 1/5 of the way between 20% and 50%. That means 1/5 of the solution is 50% acid.

50% acid: 1/5 · 100 mL = 20 mL

20% acid: 100 mL -20 mL = 80 mL

Delbert must mix 80 mL of 20% acid and 20 mL of 50% acid.

_____

Maybe you'd like to see an equation. Let x represent the amount of 50% acid required. Then 100-x is the amount of 20% acid needed.  The amount of acid in the mix is ...

  0.50(x) +0.20(100 -x) = 0.26(100)

  (0.50 -0.20)x = (0.26 -0.20)100 . . . . subtract 0.20(100)

  x = (0.26 -0.20)/(0.50 -0.20)×100 = 20

This last expression should look a lot like the one we started with in this answer. It shows you how you can almost write down the answer to mixture problems without a lot of work.
