how many yellow jelly beans are in the jar?

Question

A jar is filled with jelly beans of various colors. If the jar has a total of 850 jelly beans and approximately 14% of the jelly beans are yellow,

Answer 1

You are looking for 14% of 850.

In math we write 100% at 1.0, 50% as 0.5, 25% as 0.25, 0% as 0.0, etc.

14% is 0.14

So your answer is 850 * 0.14 = 119
