Answer:


(9)/(37) or %24

Explanation:

Since you have already took a red candy and didn't replace it the normal
(10)/(38) would be replaced with
(9)/(37).

To find this you need to add all the candies together and find the number of specific candies you want, in this case red/9.

Now put the 9 above the total number as a fraction.

In order to find the percent divide 9 by 37

9/37=0.243243243

Simplify it 0.24

Now move the . over to the right two times!
