Answer:

20/100 or 20%

Explanation:

Let's see how many candies are in total.

5 orange + 6 blue + 3 green + 4 red + 7 yellow = 25 in total

So there are 5/25 orange candies.

5/25 x 4 = 20/100 (I multiplied by 4 to get the denominator 100)

If you need it in percent it is 20%.

I hope this is helpful for you!
