    A large bag of candy contains 84 blue candies, 96 red candies, and 120 yellow candies. What percent of the candies are red?

    Calculate total candies:
    Total Candies = Blue Candies + Red Candies + Yellow Candies
    Total Candies = 84 + 96 + 120
    Total Candies = 300

    Now calculate the red candy percentage:
    Red Candy Percent = 100 * Red Candies / Total Candies
    Red Candy Percent = 100 * 96 / 300
    Red Candy Percent = 9600 / 300
    Red Candy Percent = 32%
