Question

Pam ordered a set of beads. She received 9,850 beads, and 72% of them were blue. How many blue beads did Pam receive?

Answer 1

7,092 blue beads

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

Number of beads received = 9,850 beads

Percentage that are blue = 72%

Amount of blue beads received = 72% of 9,850 beads

Amount of blue beads received = 72/100 x 9,850

Amount of blue beads received = 14,184/2

Amount of blue beads received = 7,092 beads

Hence Pam received 7,092 blue beads
