Answer:
26 green marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 100 marbles in the jar.
100 marbles are 100%
26% of these marbles are green.
Just as there are 100 marbles, we need to find how many marbles are green.
Let us do it like that: let a be the actual number of green marbles.
Marbles Percent
100 100%
a 26%
Let's find the ratio between 100% and 26% by doing 100/26 = 3.846153
We need to multiply 26 by 3.846153 in order to get to 100, right?
So same, I'll need to multiply a times 3.846153 in order to get 100.
3.846153 a = 100
divide both sides by 3.846153
a = 26 marbles
Therefore there are 26 green marbles.
