A large bag of candy contains 84 blue candies, 96 red candies, and 120 yellow candies. What percent of the candies are red?
Calculate total candies:
Total Candies = Blue Candies + Red Candies + Yellow Candies
Total Candies = 84 + 96 + 120
Total Candies = 300
Now calculate the red candy percentage:
Red Candy Percent = 100 * Red Candies / Total Candies
Red Candy Percent = 100 * 96 / 300
Red Candy Percent = 9600 / 300
Red Candy Percent = 32%
Calculate total candies:
Total Candies = Blue Candies + Red Candies + Yellow Candies
Total Candies = 84 + 96 + 120
Total Candies = 300
Now calculate the red candy percentage:
Red Candy Percent = 100 * Red Candies / Total Candies
Red Candy Percent = 100 * 96 / 300
Red Candy Percent = 9600 / 300
Red Candy Percent = 32%
