Question

At the craft store, Maureen bought a bag of yellow and red marbles. She received 30 marbles in all. 24 of the marbles were yellow. What percentage of the marbles were yellow?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 10 orange marbles

Explanation:

There are 25 marbles in the bag

40% are orange

To determine the number of orange marbles, we multiply the total number of marbles by the percent that are orange

25 *40% = number of orange marbles

25*.40

10

There are 10 orange marbles
