Answer: 4 blue chips (brochure), 6 yellow chips (news article), and 10 red chips (computer presentation).

Step-by-step explanation: If you have 20 colored chips, then 20% of the people that chose the brochure will be 20% of 20 of the chips. That is 20 * 0.2 = 4. Now, to find how to model the people who chose the news article, it will be 30% of the 20 chips. That is 20 * 0.3 = 6. Thus, 6 chips can be modeled for the news articles. Lastly, we add 6 + 4 and that is 10. The rest is another ten out of the 20. Thus, we can use 10 red chips to model the computer presentation.
