Answer: 37

Explanation:

Given that:

Total number of beads on her necklace = 50

Percentage of blue beads = 26%

Therefore, number of blue beads :

Percentage number of blue beads × total number of beads on necklace

Number of Blue beads = 26% × 50

= 0.26 × 50 = 13

Number of Blue beads = 13

Therefore, number of beads that aren't blue :

Total number of beads - number of blue beads

50 - 13 = 37

Number of beads that aren't blue = 37
