Question

Mac has 25 marbles, of which 20% are red. Thayer has 20 marbles, of which 75% are not red. What is the absolute difference between the numbers of red marbles they have?

Answer 1

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Mac has 25 marbles

20% are red

20/100 x 25 = 5

therefore Mac has 5 red marbles.

Thayer has 20 marbles

75% are not red

hence 25 % are red

25/100 x 20 = 5

5-5=0
