Question

Carrie has 300 marbles 25 of the marbles are green 15% of the marbles are red and the rest of the marbles are blue how many blue marbles does he have​

Answer 1

230 blue marbles

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we need to find how many marbles are red.

We know that 25 marbles are green

15% of the marbles are red.

There are a total of 300 marbles.

We would multiply 300 by 0.15 to find how many marbles are red.

`300*0.15=45`

45 marbles are red.

In the question, it says the rest of the marbles are blue.

This means that we would subtract 300 by 25 and 45 to find how many marbles are blue.

`300-25-45=230`

This means that 230 marbles are blue.

I hope this helps!
