Question

A gumball machine contains 23 green gumballs, 52 red gumballs, 34 blue gumballs, 61 yellow gumballs, and 30 pink gumballs. What percentage of the gumballs are red?

Answer 1

26 percent because there are a total of 200 gumballs. First you need to find the total amount of gumballs which is 200. You then know that 52/200 are red. Then you divide both numbers by two to get 26/100 which equals 26 percent.
