Answer:
20 caramel apples are covered with sprinkles
Explanation:
Maya has 120 caramel apples to sell. Each caramel apple is covered with one topping. 1/5 of caramel apples are covered with peanuts. 1/3 are covered with chocolate chips. 3/10 are covered with coconut. The rest are covered with sprinkles.
Let the Total fraction of caramel apples = 1
1 = 1/5 + 1/3 + 3/10 + caramel apples covered in sprinkles
Fraction of caramel apples covered in sprinkles = 1 - (1/5 + 1/3 + 3/10 )
LCM of denominator = 30
= 1 - (6 + 10 + 9/30)
= 1 - 25/30
= 5/30
= 1/6
How many caramel apples are covered with sprinkles
This is calculated as :
Fraction of caramel apples covered in sprinkles × Total number of caramel apples
= 1/6 × 120
= 20 caramel apples covered in sprinkles.
