\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 It has been found that 28 red marbles has been replaced by blue marbles.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.

pishuonlain [190]
Let the amount of the first brand be x, and let the amount of the second brand be y.
0.09x + 0.14y = 240 * 0.13 .................(1)
x + y = 240 ..............(2)
y = 240 - x .......................(3)
Plugging the value for y from equation (3) into equation (1), we get:
0.09x+0.14(240-x)=240\times0.13 ...............(4)
Equation (4) simplifies to:
-0.05x = -2.4
giving the value for the required amount of 9% vinegar as 48 ml and the required amount of 14% vinegar as 240 - 48 = 192 ml.

A bottle of la belle bœuf contains 3/8 ounces of perfume. How many ounces of perfume would 4 1/2 bottles contain?
dusya [7]

ANSWER

1 \frac{11}{16} ounces

EXPLANATION

It was given that,a bottle of la belle bœuf contains 3/8 ounces of perfume.

We want to find how many ounces of perfume would 4 1/2 bottles contain.

If 1 bottle contains 3/8 ounces;

Then 4½ bottles should contain more ounces.

If more less divides.

4½ bottles contain

\frac{4 \frac{1}{2} \times  \frac{3}{8}  }{1}

=  \frac{27}{16}

=1.6875 ounces.

May I plz get some help plz
mr_godi [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

5x +10° + 58° = 11x + 2°( Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles)

5x + 68° = 11x + 2°

11x - 5x = 68° - 2°

6x = 66°

x = 66° / 6

Therefore x = 11°

Hope it will help you :)
