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

Total number of gumballs in the gumball machine =

23 + 52 + 34 + 61 + 30 = 200

% of the gumballs being red = 52/200 * 100

                                                 = 52/2

                                                = 26 %

Hence, 26% of the gumballs are red in the gumball machine

Answer 2

Answer:

26%

Explanation:

23 + 52 + 34 + 61 + 30 = 200

Of all the gumballs, only 52 are red.

52/200

52 ÷ 200 = 0.26

0.26 x 100 = 26%

I hope this helps! :)
