There were 130 million roses sold on Valentine's Day.

76% of these roses were red.

How many red roses were sold on Valentine's Day?​

We simply need to find 76% of 130 million.


\begin{gathered} 76\%\: of\: 130\: \text{million} \\ (76)/(100)*130\: \text{million} \\ 98.8\: \text{million} \end{gathered}

Therefore, 98.8 million red roses were sold on Valentine's Day.
