Jerry bought 6.95 lbs of cherry and lime jelly beans for his birthday party. If 1.75 Ibs were cherry flavor, how many pounds were lime flavor?

1 answer

To find out how many pounds of lime flavor jelly beans Jerry bought, you can subtract the weight of the cherry jelly beans from the total weight of the jelly beans.

Total weight of jelly beans = 6.95 lbs
Weight of cherry jelly beans = 1.75 lbs

Weight of lime jelly beans = Total weight - Weight of cherry jelly beans
Weight of lime jelly beans = 6.95 lbs - 1.75 lbs
Weight of lime jelly beans = 5.20 lbs

So, Jerry bought 5.20 lbs of lime flavor jelly beans.
