Answer: 56%

Explanation:

Since Janice bought a bag of green and yellow marbles and she received 14 green marbles and 11 yellow marbles, the total number of marbles will be:

= 14 + 11 = 25 marbles

Number of Yellow marbles = 11

Number of Green marbles = 14

Total number of marbles = 25

The percentage of the marbles that were green will be:

= Number of Green marbles / Total marbles × 100

= 14/25 × 100

= 14 × 4

= 56%
