Answer:
18 marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Express the fraction of each type of marble as a function of the total number of marbles as shown;
Let;
total marbles=x
red marbles=3/(3+4)=3/7x
blue marbles=4/7 x
But x=42 marbles
The total number of marbles for each type can be expressed as;
total number of red marbles=fraction of red marbles×total number of marbles
where;
fraction of red marbles=3/7 x
total number of marbles=42
replacing;
total number of red marbles=(3/7)×42=18 marbles
total number of blue marbles=fraction of blue marbles×total number of marbles
where;
fraction of blue marbles=4/7 x
total number of marbles=42
replacing;
total number of blue marbles=(4/7)×42=24 marbles

To solve this problem you have to set up a proportion. To form one side of the proportion you use "is over of" meaning what number represented by is, in this case 18, is placed over the number represented by of, 3000.
Since you are finding the percent of something, youre x value is placed above "100" because percent values are most commonly out of 100%.
So now your proportion will look like
To solve the proportion you cross multiply and divide. So you multiply 100 and 18 since they are crossed from each other, then divide 1800 by 3000. The answer is .6. 18 is .6% of 3000.
Answer: X = 42
Steps:
(3x + 12) + x = 180
3x + 12 + x = 180
4x + 12 = 180
4x = 180 - 12
4x = 168
x = 168/4
x = 42
Check:
(3x + 12) + x = 180
3x + 12 + x = 180
3(42) + 12 + 42 = 180
126 + 12 + 42 = 180
180 = 180 ✅
