Q. A gumball machine contains 2323 green gumballs, 5252 red gumballs, 3434 blue gumballs, 6161 yellow gumballs, and 3030 pink gumballs. What percent of the gumballs are red?\newline(Ignore the % \% symbol when entering your answer. For example, if the answer is 12% 12 \% , enter 1212 .)
  1. Calculate Total Gumballs: Calculate the total number of gumballs in the machine by adding the number of gumballs of each color together.\newlineTotal number of gumballs = 2323 (green) + 5252 (red) + 3434 (blue) + 6161 (yellow) + 3030 (pink)\newlineTotal number of gumballs = 200200
  2. Calculate Red Gumball Percentage: Calculate the percentage of red gumballs by dividing the number of red gumballs by the total number of gumballs and then multiplying by 100100 to convert the fraction to a percentage.\newlinePercentage of red gumballs = (Number of red gumballs/Total number of gumballs)×100(\text{Number of red gumballs} / \text{Total number of gumballs}) \times 100\newlinePercentage of red gumballs = (52/200)×100(52 / 200) \times 100\newlinePercentage of red gumballs = 0.26×1000.26 \times 100\newlinePercentage of red gumballs = 26%26\%
