The red color was eliminated, due to health concerns. Even though M&M didn't use the suspicious substance, they didn't want their clients to get wrong ideas.

How many blue MM's are in a standard size bag?

well to solve this it would be much easier to know the average weight of an m&m and how much the net weight (NET WT) of the package is, and divide the net weight by the average weight of an m&m to find out how many m&m's are in a package, or just count how many m&m's there are in a package. Now you know how many m&m's of all colors there are, but you want to know only blue. To figure this out, first find out what percentage of m&m colors are blue (if m&m's come in 4 colors, for example [idk how many colors there are], then one out of the four colors is blue; 1/4 or 25%). Once you have the percentage, apply it to the total number of m&m's in the package. * if you count how many blue m&m's come in one package, this is a very detailed number that pertains only to that individul package and not an overall average of how many blue m&m's one would expect to find in any one package.
