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

25% + 40% +?% = 100%
65% + ?% = 100%
?% = 35%

.35*160 = 56

There are 56 grape fruit chews in the display case.

Answer 2

56

Explanation:

We are given that

Total fruits chews in the display case=160

Cherry in the display case=25% of 160

Peach chews=40% of 160

We have to find the graph fruit chews in the display case.

25% of 160=
`(25)/(100)* 160=40`

Cherry in the displace case=40

40% Of 160=
`(40)/(100)* 160=64`

Peach fruit chews in the display case=64

Now, grape fruit chews in the display case=160-40-64=56

Hence, the grape fruit chews in the display case=56
