A bag of marbles is being sold in a store. The box says that there are 500 red marbles 750 green marbles and 1000 blue marbles inside what percent of the marbles are red round the percentage to the nearest whole number.
To find the percentage of red marbles, divide the total number of red marbles by the total number of marbles, and multiply by 100.
Total number of marbles = 500 + 750 + 1000 = 2250
Percentage of red marbles = (500/2250) * 100 ≈ 22.22%
Rounded to the nearest whole number, approximately 22% of the marbles are red.
To find the percentage of red marbles in the bag, we need to divide the number of red marbles by the total number of marbles and multiply by 100.
Total number of marbles = 500 (red) + 750 (green) + 1000 (blue) = 2250 marbles
Percentage of red marbles = (500 / 2250) * 100
Calculating this:
Percentage of red marbles = (0.2222...) * 100 = 22.22...
Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives us:
Percentage of red marbles = 22%
Therefore, approximately 22% of the marbles in the bag are red.
