    If there are 157 candies, then that implies that all of the candies in the bag added together end up equaling 157. Thus, if you take the 157 and subtract all of the numbers other than green, that will give you the number of greens in the bag. 157-56-42-23-20 = (number of greens). The number of greens is equal to 16. To find the percentage of greens, you take the number of greens in the bag, divide it by the total number of candies, then multiply the ending result by 100: (16/157) * 100=0.10191*100=10.191 percent

    Total = 157 MM

    56 brown + 42 orange + 23 yellow + 20 red = 141 MM

    157 MM - 141 MM = 16 MM

    Green = 16

    Percentage green = 16/157 times 100

    Percentage green = 10.191%
