Question

A gumball machine has 150 green gumballs. If the green gumballs are 25% of the total number of gumballs, total number of gumballs in the machine is .

• A. 200
• B. 400
• C. 600

Answer 1

The correct option is C 600

25% of the gumballs are green.

Let, t be the total number of balls.

25% of t = 150

$\frac{25}{100}$ $\times$ t = 150

25 $\times$ t= 150 $\times$ 100

t = 600

Hence, there are 600 gumballs in the machine.
