Explanation:

Answer 2

There are 330 navy beans and 220 white beans

Solution:

Given that a jar contains 550 beans

Of all beans, 40 % are white beans and the rest are navy beans

To find: number of white and navy beans

Given that 40 % beans are white, which means 40 % of 550 beans are white

White beans = 40 % of 550

`\rightarrow 40 \% * 550\\\\\rightarrow (40)/(100) * 550\\\\\rightarrow 0.4 * 550 = 220`

Thus number of white beans are 220

Rest are navy beans

Therefore,

Number of navy beans = total beans - number of white beans

Number of navy beans = 550 - 220 = 330

Thus there are 330 navy beans
