    I can guess only "what percentage..." and no more.

    If you are looking for the percentage of yellow marbles, remember that this percentage is given by the number of yellow marbles divided by the total number of marbles, times 100%.

    A percentage of something is always that 'thing' divided by the total, times 100%... if you get what I mean.
