Kathleen had a bag of candy-coated chocolates. Of the 55 candies in the bag, 20% were red, 30% were orange, 30% were green, and 20% were blue. Of the blue ones, 20% had a damaged candy coating. Approximately how many of the blue ones had a damaged candy coating?

20% of 55 = 11
20% of 11 = 2.2

Approximately, since you can't have 20% of a candy damaged (I mean, technically you can, but not in this question, I don't think), your answer is 2.
