[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Rohan chose 50 M&M's out of a total of 500, which is 10% of the total. If 8 out of the 50 M&M's he chose were red, then we can estimate that about 10% of the entire bag is red as well.

Therefore, we can predict that there are about 50 red M&M's in the bag (10% of 500).
So the answer is 50.
