Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find 15% of 9000, first convert 15% to a decimal by dividing by 100: \( 15\% = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15 \)

Step2: Multiply by total number of beads

Multiply the decimal by the total number of beads (9000) to find the number of blue beads: \( 0.15 \times 9000 = 1350 \)

Answer:

1350
