1/2 of a bag of candy is skittles, 1/4 is m and m's, and 3/4 of the rest of it are life savers. The rest are sour patch kids. What percent of the total pieces are sour patch kids

Respuesta :

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total = 1 ; as a decimal

1/2 = skittles

1/4 = M&Ms

Skittles +M&Ms = 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4

Remainder = 1 - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Remainder = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Sour patch = [tex]\frac{1}{4} *\frac{1}{4} =\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

As a percentage , multiply 1/16 by 100 and it becomes 6.25%
