Question

A gumball machine contains 23 green gumballs, 52 red gumballs, 34343434 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+34343434+61+30=34343600
red=52
52/34343600
divide out
0.0000015141103/1
multiply by 100/100
0.00015141103/100=0.00015%
make bottom number 100
26/100=26%
answer is 26%
