Aliya Logan · Answer 1

A - 1/2 and 1/4 (or together is 75%) B - 1/10 and 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

50 purple

10 green

15 red

25 orange

Total = 100

Anaya Walsh · Answer 2

To find A you would first take the 50 purple and 25 orange and combine them, this would give you 75 you would then put that over a 100 since there's a 100 marbles total so 75/100=.75 which is 75% you would do the same for the green 10/100=.1 so a) 75% and b).1% or 10%
