Dustin has 120 caramel apples to sell .Each caramel apple is covered with one topping.
1.1/5 of caramel apples are covered in peanuts.
2.30% are covered with coconut .
3.1/3 are covered in chocolate chips .
4.the rest are covered in sprinkles
How many caramel apples are covered in sprinkles?
1/5 + 3/10 + 1/3 = 6/30 + 9/30 + 10/30 = 25/30 = 5/6
so, 5/6 are covered with the other stuff, leaving 1/6 for sprinkles.
1/6 * 120 = 20
30 looks like a good common denominator
6/30 + 9/30 + 10/30 = 25/30
30/30 - 25/30 = 5/30
(5/30) * 120 = ?
To find out how many caramel apples are covered in sprinkles, we need to subtract the quantities covered in peanuts, coconut, and chocolate chips from the total number of caramel apples.
1. The number of caramel apples covered with peanuts can be calculated by finding 1/5 of the total number of caramel apples: 1/5 * 120 = 24.
2. The number of caramel apples covered with coconut can be calculated by finding 30% of the total number of caramel apples: 30/100 * 120 = 36.
3. The number of caramel apples covered with chocolate chips can be calculated by finding 1/3 of the total number of caramel apples: 1/3 * 120 = 40.
Now, let's calculate the number of caramel apples covered in sprinkles by subtracting the quantities covered in peanuts, coconut, and chocolate chips from the total number of caramel apples:
Total - (Peanuts + Coconut + Chocolate chips) = 120 - (24 + 36 + 40) = 120 - 100 = 20.
Hence, there are 20 caramel apples covered in sprinkles.
