Question

There is a jar of jellybeans on Mr. Schidrich's desk. 40% of the jellybeans are red. If

there are 55 jelly beans in the jar, how many are red??

Answer 1

22 Red Jellybeans

Explanation:

Out of the 55 jellybeans in the jar, 40% of them are red, which means you have to do 40% of 55 to see which ones are red. We know 10% of 55 is 5.5, then multiply 5.5 x 4 to get 22 is 40% of 50 hope this helped :)
