\boxed{{\mathbf{400}}} marbles are needed to add in the bag to maintain 65\% of all marbles are blue.

Further explanation:

Given  

There are total 560 marbles in bag in which 65\% are red and the rest are blue. It has been found that 28 red marbles has been replaced by blue marbles.

Step by step explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that 65\% are red marbles and the total number of marbles are 560.

The total number of red marbles initially can be calculated as,

\begin{aligned}{\text{number of red marbles}} &= \frac{{65}}{{100}} \times 560 = 0.65 \times 560\\&= 364\\\end{aligned}

Therefore, the total number of red marbles initially are 364.

Step 2:

It is given that rest of the marbles are blue that means 35\% of the total marbles.

The total number of blue marbles can be evaluated as,

\begin{aligned}{\text{number of blue marbles}} &= 560 - 364\\&= 196 \\\end{aligned}  

Therefore, the total number of blue marbles initially are 364.

Step 3:

Now it is given that the 28 red marbles are replaced with blue marbles.

Now red marbles after the replacement can be evaluated as,

\begin{aligned}{\text{number of red marbles}} &= 364 - 28\\&= 336\\\end{aligned}  

Now blue marbles after the replacement can be calculated as,

\begin{aligned}{\text{number of blue marbles}} &= 196 + 28 \\&= 224 \\\end{aligned}  

Therefore, the number of red marbles are 336 and the number of blue marbles are 224.

Step 4:

Now find the number of blue marbles added in the bag to maintain 65\% blue marbles.

Consider x as the number of blue marbled added in the bag so that 65\% of all marbles are blue.

Now determine an equation for the percent of blue marbles.

\begin{aligned}\left( {\frac{{224 + x}}{{560 + x}}} \right) \times 100 &= 65 \\ \frac{{224 + x}}{{560 + x}} &= \frac{{65}}{{100}} \\\end{aligned}  

Step 5:

Now cross multiply the resultant equation and use the distributive property to obtain the value of x.

\begin{aligned}\left( {224 + x} \right)100 &= 65\left( {560 + x} \right) \\22400 + 100x &= 36400 + 65x \\100x - 65x &= 36400 - 22400 \\35x &= 14000 \\\end{aligned}  

Further calculation for the value of x can be calculated as,

\begin{aligned}x&= \frac{{14000}}{{35}} \hfill \\x &= 400 \hfill \\\end{aligned}  

Therefore, 400 marbles are required to add in the bag so that 65\% of all marbles area blue.

Answer:  The answer is 400  blue marbles.


Step-by-step explanation: Given that there are 560 marbles in a bag, out of which 65% are red and rest are blue.

So, number of red marbles is

n_r=65\%\times 560=\dfrac{65}{100}\times 560=364,

and number of blue marbles is

n_b=560-364=196.

Now, if 28 red marbles are replaced by blue marbles, the the new number of red and blue marbles will be

n_r^\prime=364-28=336~~~\textup{and}~~~n_b^\prime=196+28=224.

Now, to get 65% of the marbles blue, we need to add some more blue marbles to the bag. Let 'x' number of blue marbles are added to the bag, then

65\%\times (560+x)=224+x\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{65}{100}\times (560+x)=224+x\\\\\Rightarrow 13(560+x)=20(224+x)\\\\\Rightarrow 7280+13x=4480+20x\\\\\Rightarrow 7x=2800\\\\\Rightarrow x=400.

Thus, 400 blue marbles need to be added to the bag.

Geometry Help needed 25 points
Arada [10]

W is in the lower left corner located at (-1,-2)

W' is in the upper left corner located at (-2,1)

Notice that the original Y value (-2) became the new X value (-2) and the original X value (-1) is the inverse of the new Y value (1).

If you look at the coordinates of the other two pints you would see it was the same transformation.

When the X and Y coordinates switch like this, it is a 90 degree clockwise rotation around the origin.

How to graph x plus y equals 6 and y equals x plus 4
IgorC [24]

Answer:

1) convert these words into 2 equations:

x+y=6

y=x+4

1) for the first equation graph by intercepts:

x intercept: x+0=6

x=6

y intercept: 0+y=6

y=6

hence put point (0,6) and (6,0) on the graph

2nd equation:

graph by slope intercept: go to (0,4) on the graph. go up one and over one to the right. You should end up at (1,5)

so graph (0,4) and (1,5)

hope this helps
