It has not been indicated whether the figure in the questions is a triangle or a quadrilateral. Irrespective of the shape, this can be solved. The two possible shapes and angles have been indicated in the attached image.
Now, from the information given we can infer that there is a line BD that cuts angle ABC in two parts: angle ABD and angle DBC
⇒ Angle ABC = Angle ABD + Angle DBC
Also, we know that angle ABC is 1 degree less than 3 times the angle ABD, and that angle DBC is 47 degree
Let angle ABD be x
⇒ Angle ABC = 3x-1
Also, Angle ABC = Angle ABD + Angle DBC
Substituting the values in the above equations
⇒ 3x-1 = x+47
⇒ 2x = 48
⇒ x = 24
So angle ABD = 24 degree, and angle ABC = 3(24)-1 = 71-1 = 71 degree
It would be , or, in simplest form,

You get this by adding all the marbles to find the total number of marbles. <em>10+7+12+9</em>, which equals <em>38</em>.
You have <u>10 red marbles out of 38 total</u>, so that is represented by !
