Final answer:
To find the number of pieces that are not dark chocolate, subtract 24% from 100% to get 76% and then calculate 76% of 250 pieces. There are 190 pieces of candy that are not dark chocolate.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks how many pieces of candy in the bag are not dark chocolate. Since 24% of the candies are dark chocolate, we can subtract this percentage from 100% to find the percentage that are not dark chocolate. The calculation is as follows:
100% - 24% = 76%
Now, we can calculate the number of pieces that are not dark chocolate by taking 76% of the total number of candies in the bag:
0.76 × 250 pieces = 190 pieces
Therefore, there are 190 pieces of candy in the bag that are not dark chocolate.
