    Multiply 120 by. 59 which is 70.8 but you cant have. 8 of a pencil so you round up to 71. To find the number of blue pencils received subtract 71 from 120 which is 49.

    71 = Black

    49 = Blue

    59% of 120 is 70.8.

    So to make an approximate number of pencils I would round up because it's over. 5.

    I would say about 71 pencils are black.
