Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the constant of proportionality and let the balls be 3x, 4x, 5x, and 6x...

total balls= 3600

3x+4x+5x+6x=3600

18x=3600

x=200

No. of Red Balls= 3x= 600

No. of Blue Balls= 4x= 800

No. of Green Balls= 5x= 1000

No. of Black Balls= 6x= 1200

Percentage of Red Balls= 600/3600*100=16.6%

Percentage of Blue Balls= 800/3600*100=22.2%

Percentage of Green Balls= 1000/3600*100=27.7%

Percentage of Black Balls= 1200/3600*100=33.3%
