1. Determine the percentage of green marbles sold

Since 25%25\% of the marbles sold were yellow, the percentage of green marbles sold is:
100%−25%=75%100\% - 25\% = 75\%

2. Find the total number of marbles sold

We know that 75%75\% of the marbles sold corresponds to 120120 green marbles.
75%→12075\% \rightarrow 120
1%→12075=1.61\% \rightarrow \frac{120}{75} = 1.6
100%→1.6×100=160100\% \rightarrow 1.6 \times 100 = 160

Alternatively, using fractions:
75%=3475\% = \frac{3}{4}
34\frac{3}{4} of total =120= 120
14\frac{1}{4} of total =120÷3=40= 120 \div 3 = 40
Total =40×4=160= 40 \times 4 = 160

160160 (option 4)
