Question

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?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

30 looks like a good common denominator

6/30 + 9/30 + 10/30 = 25/30

30/30 - 25/30 = 5/30

(5/30) * 120 = ?
