about wrapped chocolate math question

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I remember for sure that my question on the test booklet
just asked for the wrapped candy, not wrapped chocolate candy
because i read this question several times thinking that it is not even a
math related question. so i just went for 20 candies
could this possible be printing problem ??
WHat should i do??</p>

2

<p>Tell me the problem in full.</p>

3

<p>It definitely said wrapped chocolate candies. I messed up and put 20 candies too, but I didn’t realize it said THE LEAST number of candies. :C</p>

4

<p>There were total 100 candies in the bag
20% was wrapped candies
70% = chocolate
sth like that.</p>

5

<p>i got 0.</p>

<p>ex.
70 are chocolate and unwrapped
20 are hardcandy and wrapped<br>
10 are hardcandy and unwrapped</p>

<p>therefore no chocolate and wrapped.</p>

6

<p>sgy, that would equal 30% hardcandy–problem states 20% (doesn’t specify wrapped or not). I got 10.</p>

7

<p>hardcandy is just an example. the 20% refs to the wrapped.</p>

<p>okay. altered example.</p>

<p>70 are chocolate and unwrapped
20 are hardcandy and wrapped
10 are mint and unwrapped</p>

<p>i’m terribly sorry if i am indeed wrong. i must admit i didn’t study for math this time as i scored my desired math score last october.</p>

8

<p>I got 0. It asked for the least number of wrapped chocolates among the 70 chocolates. There were 100 chocolates in total. 20/100 candies in the bag were wrapped. So, 20/30 of the non-chocolate candies could be wrapped and 0 for the chocolates.</p>

9

<p>I got 0 too. 80% of the candy is unwrapped while only 70% is chocolate. All the chocolate could be among the unwrapped candy.</p>

10

<p>oh ok the answer is 0. I misread the problem</p>

11

<p>Zero, def. Agree with the reasons above.</p>

12

<p>I also got 0.</p>

13

<p>yep its zero</p>

14

<p>YES. i got zero too</p>

15

<p>yes i put zero too.</p>

16

<p>yea I read it over like 5 times cause zero just seemed too easy but the wording and everything checked out.</p>

17

<p>0</p>

<p>20 wrapped
70 chocolate
10 non-wrapped and non-chocolate
= 100 total</p>

<p>leaving 0 wrapped chocolate</p>

18

<p>I got 0</p>

<p>100 total</p>

<p>70 plain chocolate
20 wrapped strawberry(ex)
10 strawberry</p>
