Given:
Total number of cubes = 40
Red cubes = 18
Blue cubes = 13
Yellow cubes = 9
Aysha adds some more red cubes into the bag.
The probability now that she will take a red cube is 0.5.
To find:
The probability that she will take a yellow cube.
Solution:
Let Aysha adds x red cubes into the bag. Then,
Number of total cubes = 40+x
Number of red cubes = 18+x
Probability of getting a red cube is:
The probability now that she will take a red cube is 0.5. So,
Divide both sides by 0.5.
It means Aysha adds 4 more red cubes into the bag.
Now, the total number of cubes int he bag is:
Probability of getting a yellow cube is:
Therefore, the required probability is .
