Question

In a bowl of 50 skittles, you have 12 yellow, 9 orange, 11 red, and 13 green. The rest of the skittles are purple. What percentage of the skittles are red? What percentage of the skittles are not green?

Answer 1

percentage of red skittles = 22%

percentage of skittles that are not green = 74%

Step-by-step explanation:

total skittles = 50

yellow = 12

orange = 9

red = 11

green = 13

purple = 50-12-9-11-13

= 5

1) percentage of red skittles

`(red \: skittles)/(total \: skittles) * 100`

`(11)/(50) * 100`

`(22)/(10)`

`22\%`

2) percentage of skittles that are not green

`(total \: skittles - green \: skittles)/(total \: skittles) * 100`

`(50 -13 )/(50) * 100`

`(37)/(50) * 100`

`74\%`
