He placed 479 gumballs in the gumball machine.

We are given that Zoetz placed red, blue, and yellow gumballs in his gumball machine.

Now in the gumball machine, we are given that he:

He has placed 253 yellow gumballs.

Now, we are given an expression that the number of red gumballs is 98 less than the yellow ones.

Number of red gumballs = 253 - 98 = 155 gumballs.

Also, another expression says that blue gumballs are 27 less than the red ones.

Number of blue gumballs = 155 - 27 = 128 gumballs.

Total gumballs = 253 + 98 + 128 = 479 gumballs.

Therefore, he placed 479 gumballs in the gumball machine.
