I'm assuming Petra is only removing blue marbles, and she is keeping the 2 red marbles the whole time.

If so, then she starts with 49 blue marbles and ends up with 49-x blue marbles after removing x blue marbles. Overall she starts with 49+2 = 51 marbles total and ends up with 51-x marbles total after taking away x blue marbles.

(49-x)/(51-x) represents the proportion of blue marbles after we take those blue ones away. We want the proportion to be 0.90

(49-x)/(51-x) = 0.90

49-x = 0.90(51-x)

49-x = 0.90(51)+0.90(-x)

49-x = 45.9-0.90x

-x+0.90x = 45.9-49

-0.10x = -3.1

x = -3.1/(-0.10)

x = 31

<h3>Petra must remove 31 blue marbles so that 90% of the marbles are blue.</h3><h3>Answer: (E) 31</h3>

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

The only two numbers that would make the whole expression divisible by 8 are 0 and 8. Since the number also has to be divisible by 5, though, the last digit must be a 0 or a 5. Therefore, A=0. Hope this helps!
