Answer:

30

Explanation:

They both have the same percentage of green marbles, Amanda has 16 total marbles, 4 of them are green. So 25 percent of her marbles are green. If 25 percent of Amandas marbles are green, 25 % of Carlys marbles are green too. Carly has 10 green marbles, if 10 is 25 percent of the total amount then the total amount if 40, minus 10 from 40 because we only want the non green ones and the answer is 30. :)
