A bag of candy contains 250 pieces, of which 24% are dark chocolate. How many pieces are NOT dark chocolate? Responses A 6060 B 9090 C 150150 D 175175 E 190
To find out how many pieces are NOT dark chocolate, we first need to find out how many pieces are dark chocolate.
24% of 250 pieces = 0.24 x 250 = 60 pieces
Now, to find out how many pieces are NOT dark chocolate, we subtract the number of dark chocolate pieces from the total number of pieces in the bag:
Total pieces - Dark chocolate pieces = Not dark chocolate pieces
250 - 60 = 190
Therefore, there are 190 pieces that are NOT dark chocolate in the bag.
The correct answer is E. 190
