Best Answer

First find the total number of gumballs.

51+128+93=272

Next, determine what fraction of the total represents the blue gumballs.

51/272=.1875

The fraction tells us what part of one gumball is represented by the color blue. However we were asked for a percentage (per=how many, cent=100 or how many for each 100).

So we should multiply the fraction by 100.

The answer then is .1875 multiplied by 100, or 18.75%.

That means that if we only had 100 gumballs, 18.75 of those 100 would be blue.
