Question

Maria bought a bag of marbles. There were twice as many purple ones as red ones. There were 93 marbles in all. How many of each color marble were there?

Answer 1

You would start with 93/3 which gets you 31 red marbles.

Since there is twice as many purple ones as there is red ones you would do 31 x 2 or 31 + 31 which gets you 62 purple marbles.

So there are:
62 purple marbles
31 red marbles

Answer 2

Answer:62 purple

31 red

Step-by-step explanation:

93/3= 31 to find how many of each color.
