The total number of patients experienced unwanted side effects is 48

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

60 patients are given drug A and drug A has unwanted side effects in 40% of the cases.

So, the number of patients experienced side effects for drug A = 40% of 60 =(0.40*60)= 24

Now 80 patients are given drug B and it has side effects in 30% of the cases.

So, the number of patients experienced side effects for drug B = 30% of 80 =(0.30*80)= 24

So, the total number of patients experienced unwanted side effects = 24+24 =48

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Option C is correct

The ratio of green to red marbles is, 3 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

A bag contains 44 marbles, some red and some green.

⇒Total marbles = 44

If there are 11 red marbles.

then;

Green marbles = Total marbles - red marbles.

Substitute the given values we have;

Green marbles = 44 - 11 = 33

We have to find  the ratio of green to red marbles.

\frac{\text{Green marbles}}{\text{Red marbles}} = \frac{33}{11} = \frac{3}{1} = 3 : 1

Therefore,  the ratio of green to red marbles is, 3 : 1
