Question

There are 320 marbles in a container. Of these marbles, 10 % are red. How many marbles in the container are red?

Accepted Answer

Choice A is correct. It's given that 10 % of the 320 marbles in a container are red. Therefore, the number of red marbles can be calculated by multiplying the number of marbles in the container by 10 100 , which gives 320 10 100 , or 32 . Choice B is incorrect. This is the number of marbles in the container that aren't red. Choice C is incorrect. This is the total number of marbles in the container. Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
