Question

Roxanne ordered a set of beads. She received 96 beads, and 50% of them were brown. How many brown beads did Roxanne receive?

Answer 1

To find out how many brown beads Roxanne received, we first calculate 50% of the total number of beads she received.

The total number of beads is 96.

Now, we calculate 50% of 96:

\[
50\% \text{ of } 96 = \frac{50}{100} \times 96 = 0.5 \times 96 = 48
\]

Thus, Roxanne received **48 brown beads**.
