OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are 2000 jelly beans in a jar. The various colors of the jelly beans are red, orange, yellow, pink, white, green, blue, purple, and black. 30% of the jelly beans are red. one-tenth of the jelly beans are yellow. When the orange and blue jelly beans are combined, they make up one-fifth of the total number of jelly beans. 5% of the jelly beans are white. There are 50 pink jelly beans. when black and red jelly beans are combined, they make up 7/20 of the total number of jelly beans. When the pink and green jelly beans are combined, they make up 10% of the total number of jelly beans. There are four times as many orange jelly beans as there are blue ones. 1. how many red jelly beans are there ? 2. How many yellow jelly beans are there? 3. what percentage of the jelly beans are black? 4. what fraction of the jelly beans are white 5. what percentage of the jelly beans are pink? 6. which two colors have exact same numbers of jelly beans? 7. How many purple jelly beans are there, and what fraction of the total amount is this? 8. which two colors, when added together, equal the same amount as the red jelly beans? 9. When you subtract the number of orange jelly beans from the number of purple jelly beans, that difference is equal to the number of which color jelly bean?

srry guys it took soo long

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im new to this

OpenStudy (radar):

Wow what a problem. Lets break down to step at a time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you I was typing that whole thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you still there ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please take your time

OpenStudy (radar):

Yes, the first one 1. How many red jelly beans? It is stated that red jellies make up 30% so .3x2000=600 red ones.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanxs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about the next one ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello Salina

OpenStudy (radar):

Now for no. 2: How many yellow beans are there. It is stated 1/10 are yellow. So 2000/10=200 yellow beans. I get to the rest in just a bit, come back later and they will be posted, and you can then check it out. It is lunch time here. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh you still trying to figure them out?

OpenStudy (radar):

3. What percentage of jelly beans that are black. It was stated that black and red (combined) was 7/20 of the 2000 or 700 or black and red. We have already calculated the number of reds as 600 so 100 are black. What percentage are black? 100/2000=.05 or 5% are black.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ty im doing something im eating lunch can u just type

OpenStudy (radar):

4. What fraction of the jelly beans are white. It was stated that 5% are white, or 5/100 are white. Reduce that 1/20 are white.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answers for number 1 is 600 and the answer for 2 is 200 and answer for 3 is 0.5% and 4 is ?

OpenStudy (radar):

5. What percentage are pink? There are 50 pink and that is 50/2000=0.025 or 2.5%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got that

OpenStudy (radar):

6, Which two colors have the same amount? black and white 100 each.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh kk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I maybe got number 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait no i didn't did something wrong

OpenStudy (radar):

How many purple are there and what fraction of the total amount are purple? No value was given for purple, so you add up all the other colors getting 1600. Subttract 1600 from 2000 getting 400 purple. for a fraction of 400/2000 reducing to 1/5.

OpenStudy (radar):

8. Purple and yellow when added together (400+200) = the amount of red (600)

OpenStudy (radar):

9. Blue

OpenStudy (radar):

What did you get for 9?

OpenStudy (radar):

Here is the list: red=600 white=100 black=100 pink=50 green=150 orange= 320 blue= 80 purple=400

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got pink

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for 9

OpenStudy (radar):

What you get for purple and orange then.
