There are 500 crayons in the box. 15 percent of the crayons in the box are blue. How many crayons in the box are not blue.

425 0.85 * 500 = ?

Yes. 425 are not blue.

To find out how many crayons in the box are not blue, we need to first determine the number of blue crayons in the box.

To do this, we will calculate 15 percent of 500 crayons:

15% of 500 = (15/100) * 500 = 0.15 * 500 = 75

So there are 75 blue crayons in the box.

To find the number of crayons that are not blue, we simply subtract the number of blue crayons (75) from the total number of crayons in the box (500):

Number of crayons not blue = Total number of crayons - Number of blue crayons
= 500 - 75
= 425

Therefore, there are 425 crayons in the box that are not blue.
