Answer: 65% of the jellybeans are green
Step-by-step explanation: Since there are 13 out of 20 green jellybeans, we can write the fraction 13/20 as a percent.
To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. So to write 13/20 as a percent, we need to find a fraction that is equivalent to 13/20 that has a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.
[tex]\frac{13}{20} = \frac{n}{100}[/tex]
Now we can use cross products to find the missing value.
1300 = 20n
÷20 ÷20
65 = n
Therefore, 65% of the jelly beans are green.
