Question

Jodie has 68 red marbles and 272 blue marbles. What percent of Jodie’s marbles are red?

Answer 1

20%

Explanation:

To do this we need to find the total number of marbles

272 + 68 -> 340

Now we divide 340 by 68 to get

68/ 340 = .2

Multiply by 100 because percent means PER 100 so to get this decimal in percent form multiply by 100

.2 * 100 = 20%

20% of Jodie's marbles are red
