Answer:
Jeremy has 8 blue marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Marbles = 50[/tex]
[tex]Blue = 16\%[/tex]
Required
Determine number of blue marbles
Number of blue marble is as follows;
[tex]Number = \%Blue * Marbles[/tex]
[tex]Number = 16\% * 50[/tex]
Convert % to fraction
[tex]Number = \frac{16}{100} * 50[/tex]
[tex]Number = \frac{16 * 50}{100}[/tex]
[tex]Number = \frac{800}{100}[/tex]
[tex]Number = 8[/tex]
Hence; Jeremy has 8 blue marbles
