Answer:

There are 111 blue bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of black bags

y ---> the number of blue bags

we know that

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{3}$

isolate the variable y

$y=\frac{3}{5}x$ -----> equation A

$x=185$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$y=\frac{3}{5}(185)$

$y=111$

therefore

There are 111 blue bags
