There are 4,000 jelly beans in a jar. If three fourths of the jelly beans are red, and one quarter of the red jelly beans are coconut flavored, how many jelly beans are coconut flavored?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
There are 4000 / 4 * 3 = 3000 red jelly beans. There are 3000 / 4 = 750 coconut flavored jelly beans.
Thus, the answer is 750.
