Question

A bag of candy contains 250 pieces, of which 24% are dark chocolate. How many pieces are NOT dark chocolate?

A 190
B 175
C 60
D 90
E 150

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

percent=Rate/base*100

=24/250_100

=60

Therefore,there are 60 dark chocolates.

NOT dark chocolate=Total number of chocolate-number of dark chocolate

250-60=190
