Answer

$0.8$ or $80\%$

Work Step by Step

Find the total number of marbles $50+30+20=100$ There are $20$ white marbles. Therefore the number of marbles that are not white is: $100-20=80$ marbles Thus, the probability of choosing a non-white marble is $\dfrac{\text{number of non-white marbles}}{\text{total number of marbles}}$=$\dfrac{80}{100}=\dfrac{4}{5}=0.8=80\%$
