Answer:

8% of the beads are green

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine what percentage of the beads are green

This problem is known as a probability problem which basically tries to determine the proportionality between certain numbers. In this example we are trying to figure out the proportionality between the green beads and the total sample.

(8 green beads) / (100 total beads)

0.08

0.08 is the probability but if we want to determine what the percentage is of the number we just multiply it by 100.

0.08 * 100 = 8%

Answer: 8% of the beads are green
