C. ) 1:25
D. ) 3:10

Answer 1

Answer:

D) 3:10

Step-by-step explanation:

Well only blues and yellows are at least $5. there are 25 yellows and 5 blues and if you add them together there's 30 in total. Now compare that 30 to 100 and you have 30:100. In the simplest form you have to divide both sides by 10 and it becomes 3:10.
