26 plus 15 is overall marbles and then divide 26 by 41 then move decimal over two

Johnny Burke · Answer 2

63% (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to know how many marbles there are in total.

15 + 26 = 41

There are 41 marbles in total.

Out of 41 marbles, there are 26 violets. So you would divide 26 by 41.

26/41 = 0.63414634146 ...

Then you would round your number to 0.63.

The next step is to then change it to a percentage.

0.63 x 100 = 63

63% is your answer.
