Question

A store has a display case with cherry, peach,
and grape fruit chews. There are 160 fruit chews
in the display case. Given that 25% of the fruit
chews are cherry and 40% are peach, how many
grape fruit chews are in the display case?

Answer 1

Answer:

56 grape

Step-by-step explanation:

160 fruit chews

25% are cherry, 40% are peach.....25 + 40 = 65%....so 65% of the fruit chews are NOT grape....meaning (100 - 65) = 35 % ARE grape.

so 35% of all the fruit chews are grape

35% of 160 = 0.35 * 160 = 56 are grape <===
