Natalya Booth · Answer 1

Red is 19

Blue is 57

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, it says Sam has 25% red marble out of the 76.

It means 25/100*76

It gives 19

To get the value for blue

Blue + red=76

Red is 19

Blue + 19=76

Blue=76-19

Blue=57

Therefore, red is 19 and blue is 57

Shane Mcgrath · Answer 2

So to find 25% of 76 we multiply 76*0.25 which equals 19. So Sam has 19 red marbles.

76-19=57

So 57 of Sam's marbles are blue.

Sam has 19 red marbles and 57 blue marbles.

The answer is the first choice.
