Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

X=150×81/100

X=12,150/100

X=121.5.

Answer 2

The ratio is 81:150 or in simplistic terms 27:50. This means that for every 50 marbles, 27 of them is red.

To find percentage, place the amount of red marbles over the amount of marbles and multiply by 100.

81/150 x 100 = 54%

Or

27/50 x 100 = 54%
