Answer:

90%

Explanation:

First divide the number of blue marbles by the total number of marbles to determine the ratio of blue marbles to total marble, then multiply that result by 100% to determine the % of blue marbles

He has 27 blue marbles out of 30 marbles, so he has...

27/30(100%) = 0.9(100%) = 90%
