Question

At the craft store, Rudy bought a bag of green and red marbles. The bag contained 60 marbles, and 60% of them green. How many green marbles did Rudy receive?​

Answer 1

Answer: 36

Explanation:

60 is 6/10 of 100 so if you are taking a percent of 60 just multiply the percentage by 6/10. 6/10 of 60 is 36

Answer 2

36 green marbles

Explanation:

If 60% of the 60 marbles in the bag are green, then the number of green marbles can be calculated as:

Green marbles = 60% x 60 marbles

To simplify this calculation, we can convert 60% to a decimal by dividing by 100:

Green marbles = 0.60 x 60 marbles

Green marbles = 36 marbles

Therefore, Rudy received 36 green marbles.
