Question

A jar with 600 pieces of candy was set out at a wedding reception. After the reception, 180 pieces of candy were left in the jar. What percentage of the candy was taken?

Answer 1

Answer: 70%

Explanation:

Number of pieces of candy was set out at a wedding reception = 600

Number of candy left in the jar = 180

Number of candy taken = 600 - 180 = 420

The percentage of candy taken will be:

= 420 / 600 × 100

= 70%
