Question

there are 100 marbles in a bag. 10 are green, 38 are blue, 13 are red, 31 are yellow, and 8 are orange. true or false: 23% of the marbles are green and red.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the number of green and red marbles

The number of green marbles is \(10\), and the number of red marbles is \(13\). So the total number of green and red marbles is \(10 + 13=23\).

Step2: Calculate the percentage of green and red marbles

The total number of marbles is \(100\). The percentage of green and red marbles is \(\frac{23}{100}\times100\% = 23\%\). But the statement says "23% of the marbles are green and red", while in fact, green and red marbles account for \(23\) out of \(100\) marbles, which is \(23\%\). However, the marbles also include blue, yellow and orange marbles. The correct statement should be "23% of the marbles are green or red". So the answer is False.

Answer:

False
