Three bags of jelly beans contain 26, 28, and 30 beans. The ratios of yellow beans to all beans in each of these bags are 50%, 25%, and 50%, respectively. All three bags of candy are dumped into one bowl. To the nearest percent, what is the percentage of yellow jelly beans in the bowl?
yellow beans in the first bag = 26 * 50% = 13
yellow beans in the second bag = 28 * 25% = 7
yellow beans in the third bag = 30 * 50% = 15
--------------------------------------------------------------------
all yellow beans in all bags = 13 + 7 + 15 = 35
all beans in all bags = 26 + 28 + 30 = 84
percentage of yellow beans = (35/84) * 100% = 42%
