Question

A gumball machine contains 23 green gumballs, 52 red gumballs, 34 blue gumballs, 61 yellow gumballs, and 30 pink gumballs. What percentage of the gumballs are red?

Answer 1

so percent means parts out of 100
x%=x/100
so we jsut have to find
(red)/(total)
add 23+52+34+61+30=200
red=52
52/200
make bottom number 100
26/100=26%
answer is 26%
