I'm not sure where you're stuck.

Can you write percents as fractions?

Can you add fractions?

What are your thoughts about this exercise?

I mean, how may I help you?

I'm confused:

There are 200 lightbulbs that consist of red,green, and blue.

It doesn't say anything about "clear" here...but then you include "clear" in the rest of the problem. Am I missing something?
