<em /><em>PURPLE MARBLES=P
WHITE MARBLES=W

</em>First, write out an equation showing the number of purple marbles.
P=5W-6
Then, write out the main equation.
W+P=96
W+5W-6=96
Add 6 to both sides.
W+5W=102
6W=102
Divide both sides by 6
W=17
Now that we know there are 17 white marbles, we can go back to the equation about how many purple marbles there are. 
P=5W-6
Plug in the value for W, which is 17.
P=5(17)-6
P=85-6
P=79

To make sure your answer is correct, check your work by plugging in the values for P+W=96.
79+17=96
Answer: There are 79 purple marbles.

Three counters are used for a board game.If the counters are tossed,how many ways can at least one counter with Side A occur?
sukhopar [10]
We use the equation for repeated trials written below:

Probability = n!/r!(n-r)! * p^(n-r) * q^r

The p is the probability of getting a side A in one toss. Since a counter has only two side, p = 0.5. The q is the probability of not getting side A in one toss, which is also q = 0.5. Now, r is the number of success per n trials. There are 3 tosses so, n=3. The question is getting "at least 1" counter. So, r=1, r=2 and r=3.

Probability for r=1: 3!/1!(3-1)! * (0.5)^(3-1) * (0.5)^1= 0.375
Probability for r=2: 3!/2!(3-2)! * (0.5)^(3-2) * (0.5)^2= 0.375
Probability for r=1: 3!/3!(3-3)! * (0.5)^(3-3) * (0.5)^3= 0.125

Total probability = 0.375 + 0.375 + 0.125 = 0.875
