My question is: Joel is picking peppers from his garden. He picks 7 on Sunday, 12 on Monday, 14 on Tuesday, 12 on Wednesday, 5 on Thursday, 18 on Friday and 12 on Saturday. He knows that in his garden 20% of the peppers are hot and the rest are not. How many non-hot peppers did he pick? Your thoughts:
He picked 80 peppers because 7 + 12 + 14 + 12 + 5 + 18 + 12 = 80. 80% of the peppers are not hot because 100 - 20 = 80. He picked 64 non - hot peppers because 80 x .8 = 64. The final answer: 64.
