Question

20% of the gummy bears in a bag are blue. There are 12 blue gummy bears in the bag. Shade the grid to show the percent of gummy bears that are blue. How many gummy bears are in the bag?

Answer 1

To find the number of gummy bears in the bag, set up the equation 0.2x = 12, where x is the total number of gummy bears in the bag. Solve for x to find that there are 60 gummy bears in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of gummy bears in the bag, we can use the information given. We know that 20% of the gummy bears are blue, and there are 12 blue gummy bears in the bag. So we can set up the equation: 0.2x = 12, where x is the total number of gummy bears in the bag. To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.2: x = 12 / 0.2 = 60.

Answer 2

60 gummy bears in total

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of the gummy bears are blue.

12 gummy bears are blue

That means 6 gummy bears is 10% of the total.

6*10=60

100%=60 gummy bears.
