Question

Answer 1

50% are blue because I said so ty very much

Answer 2

Answer: 50% are blue.

Explanation:

The total number of skittles in the packet will be represented by 100%. If 27% are red and 23% are green then the combination of the red and green skittles subtracted from 100 will give the percentage of the blue skittles.

27% + 23% = 50%

100% - 50% = 50%

This means half of the skittles in the packet are blue which is 50%.
