Question

there are 100 marbles in a bag. 16 are green, 32 are blue, 17 are red, 29 are yellow, and 6 are orange. true or false: 68% of the marbles are blue.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total number of marbles

The total number of marbles is \(16 + 32+17 + 29+6=100\)

Step2: Calculate the percentage of non - blue marbles

The number of non - blue marbles is \(100 - 32 = 68\). The percentage of non - blue marbles is \(\frac{68}{100}\times100\%=68\%\)
So the statement “68% of the marbles are blue” is False.

Answer:

False
