A bag contains only red and blue marbles. Yasmine takes one marble at random from the bag. The probability that she takes a red

marble is 1 in 5. Yasmine returns the marble to the bag and adds five more red marbles to the bag. The probability that she takes one red marble at random is now 1 in 3. How many red marbles were originally in the bag?

Since the first probability is 1/5, the number of read marbles was either 1 (if there were 5 marbles total), 2 (if there were 10 total), 3 (15 total), 4 (20 total), 5 (25 total), etc.. When you add 5 red marbles to the bag, you are increasing each of those fractions by 5/5. Therefore 1/5 would turn into 6/10 or 3/5. That's not our last probability so we keep going. 2/10 would turn into 7/15. Nope. 3/15 turns into 8/20 or 2/5. Nope. 4/20 turns into 9/25. Nope. 5/25 turns into 10/30 or 1/3. Therefore, the bag started with 5 red marbles out of a total of 25 marbles.

Answer:

<em>(-6, 0) and  (0, 1.5)</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in pint slope form is expressed as;

y-y0= m(x-x0)

m is the slope

(x0, y0) is the point on the line

Given

m = 1/4

(x0, y0) = (6,3)

Substitute into the formula;

y - 3 =  1/4(x-6)

4(y-3) = x - 6

4y - 12 = x-6

4y - x = -6+12

4y - x = 6

x = 4y - 6

To get the points to plot, we will find the x and y-intercept of the resulting expression.

For the x-intercept,

at y = 0

x = 4(0) - 6

x = -6

Hence the x-intercept is at (-6, 0)

For the y-intercept,

at x = 0

0 = 4y - 6

4y = 6

y = 6/4

y = 3/2

y = 1.5

Hence the y-intercept is at (0, 1.5)

<em>Hence the required points to plot to get the required line are  (-6, 0) and  (0, 1.5)</em>

Multiply 40x9.80=392

Take 1/2 of 9.80 that equal 4.90
4.90 plus 9.80 $14.70x4=58.80
$58.80 plus 392 equals 450.80
