There are 330 navy beans and 220 white beans
Given that a jar contains 550 beans
Of all beans, 40 % are white beans and the rest are navy beans
To find: number of white and navy beans
Given that 40 % beans are white, which means 40 % of 550 beans are white
White beans = 40 % of 550
[tex]\rightarrow 40 \% \times 550\\\\\rightarrow \frac{40}{100} \times 550\\\\\rightarrow 0.4 \times 550 = 220[/tex]
Thus number of white beans are 220
Rest are navy beans
Therefore,
Number of navy beans = total beans - number of white beans
Number of navy beans = 550 - 220 = 330
Thus there are 330 navy beans
