It appears there are some broken beads, since x is not an integer.

If the 12% is approximate, then we can take it she has 866 or 867 beads

1% = 104 divided by 13=N beads
12% = 12 x n = e
So, Lucy has 96 blue beads
(n = 8)
answer is 96
1. Determine the total percentage of beads that are not green:
- We know that 75% of the beads are red, 12% are blue, and the rest are green.
- So, the percentage of beads that are not green is 100% - 12% - 75% = 13%.
2. Calculate the total number of beads:
- We know that the number of green beads is 104.
- To find the total number of beads, we can set up the equation:
(Number of green beads / Percentage of green beads) = (Total number of beads / Total percentage of beads)
- Plugging in the values, we get:
104 / 13% = (Total number of beads / 100%)
- Solving this equation, we find that the total number of beads is 800.
3. Calculate the number of blue beads:
- We know that the percentage of blue beads is 12%.
- To find the number of blue beads, we can use the equation:
(Percentage of blue beads / Total percentage of beads) * Total number of beads = Number of blue beads
- Plugging in the values, we get:
(12% / 100%) * 800 = Number of blue beads
- Simplifying this equation, we find that the number of blue beads is 96.
Therefore, there are 96 blue beads in Lucy's collection.
