Answer:

• carrots/orange: 3
• beans/green: 7
• asparagus/yellow: 2
• mixed/blue: 8

Explanation:

To find the number of marbles, multiply 20 by the corresponding percentage. The numbers of marbles representing the vegetable choices are ...

carrots/orange = 0.15×20 = 3

beans/green = 0.35×20 = 7

asparagus/yellow = 0.10×20 = 2

mixed veggies/blue = 0.40×20 = 8
