Question

Starburst candies come in four colors: red, pink, orange and yellow. If there are 50 Starbursts in a bowl and 20% are red, 30% are orange, and 24% are yellow, how many of the Starbursts are pink? (Note: you should answer the questions as a number of Starbursts, not a percentage.)

Answer 1

50 Starbusts in a bowl

Red = 20% of 50 = 10

Orange = 30% of 50 = 15

Yellow = 24% of 50 = 12

Pink = 50 - 15 - 12 - 10

= 13

Therefore, There are 13 pink Starbusts.
