Respuesta :

Answer:

%26

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion to find out what percentage of the gumballs are red:

[tex]\frac{525252}{232323+525252+343434+616161+303030} =\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{525252}{2020200} =\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

[tex](525252)(100)=2020200(x)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{(525252)(100)}{2020200} =x[/tex]

[tex]26=x[/tex]

Since we set up x as a fraction of 100 when writing the proportion we can say that the percentage of red gumballs is %26.
