Answer 1

Jeremy has 8 blue marbles

Explanation:

Given

`Marbles = 50`

`Blue = 16\%`

Required

Determine number of blue marbles

Number of blue marble is as follows;

`Number = \%Blue * Marbles`

`Number = 16\% * 50`

Convert % to fraction

`Number = (16)/(100) * 50`

`Number = (16 * 50)/(100)`

`Number = (800)/(100)`

`Number = 8`

Hence; Jeremy has 8 blue marbles
