That probability depends on how many of each are in the machine.
Sadly, the question doesn't include that information.

The idea is to divide the number of orange gumballs by the total number of gumballs.

A gumball machine contains 51 blue gumballs 128 green gumballs and 93 red gumballs. What percentage of the gumballs that are blue?

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.
