Healthier snacks

In hopes of encouraging healthier snacks at school, Dan brought in a tray of carrot sticks and apple slices to share. The tray had a total of 40 snacks, of which 60% were carrot sticks. How many carrot sticks did Dan bring?

Final Answer:

x =  24

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} n=40 \\ r=60\%=\frac{60}{100}=\frac{3}{5}=0.6 \\ x=r\cdot n=0.6\cdot 40=24 \end{gathered}$$
