Blue M&M's

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total M&M's bought be 100%.

If 1/3 of the M&M's is blue this means we have 1/3 of 100 of blue M&M's i. e 33.3% are blue.

If 1/4 were red, then we have 1/4 of 100 of red M&M's i. e 25% of reds

If 1/8 of the M&M's were yellow, this means there are 1/8 of 100% M&M's i. e 12.5% of yellow.

According to the results, Jordy have more of blue M&M's
