A bowl of mixed vegetables contains carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower. If the bowl contains 80 vegetable pieces, and 25% of the pieces are carrots, how many carrots are in the bowl?

Question

The bowl contains
carrots.

Answer 1

To find the number of carrots in the bowl, we first need to calculate 25% of the total number of vegetable pieces.

The total number of vegetable pieces is 80.

To find 25% of 80:

\[ \text{Number of carrots} = 25% \times 80 = \frac{25}{100} \times 80 = 0.25 \times 80 = 20 \]

Therefore, the bowl contains 20 carrots.
