At first there are three marbles for Sam to pick from. the possibility of drawing a colored marble is 2/3. if Sam picks one of the colored marbles, the possibility of therefore (if he'd drawn the colored marble) drawing the second colored marble is 1/2. for the possibility of those happening consequently, we have to multiply the possibilities. 2/3 * 1/2 is 2/6 is 1/3. which means Sam wins in 33.333...% cases. Julie has a better chance of winning.
adding a white marble would change the possibilities to 1/2 and 1/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 = 16.7% cases, which is even less fair.
adding a colored marble would change the possibilities to 3/4 and 2/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 3/4 * 2/3 = 6/12 = 50% cases, which finally makes the game fair.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
$1.25 = 125 cents.
$42 = 4200 cents
Tickets sold at 75 cents = x
Tickets sold at 125 cents = y
x + y = 40
75x + 125y = 4200
Multiply the first equation by 75
75x + 75y = 3000
75x + 125y = 4200
Subtract the the second equation from the first.
75x + 75y = 3000
- 75x + 125y = 4200
-------------------------------
0 - 150y = - 1200
Divide both sides by - 150
-150y/-150 = -1200/-150
y = 8
Substitute y = 8 into the first equation
x + y = 42
x + 8 = 42
x = 42 - 8
x = 34
34 tickets were sold for 75 cents
8 tickets were sold for $1.25
Answer:
8 + 
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming you want an answer to the top section of the question.
We can start with 8.
8
When a problem asks for the sum, it's looking for addition, so we use the + sign.
8 +
The problem says "a number," so let's represent that with x. Basically, x just means a number we don't know.
8 + x
The "number" is divided by 4, so we'll just put x/4 as our second term.
8 +
Given:
The function is
(-5,n) is an ordered pair of the function rule.
To find:
The value of n.
Solution:
If (-5,n) is an ordered pair of the function rule, then the function must be satisfied by the point (-5,n). It means f(-5)=n.
Substitute x=-5 in the given function.
We know that, 
. So,
Therefore, the value of n is 10.
