Let red marbles = X.
The probability is 1 out of 5, written as 1/5
1/5 in terms of red marbles is equal to the number of red marbles divided by 5x, where 5x is the total number of marbles.
1/5 = x/5x
Now you have 5x total marbles, x red and 4x blue.
Add 5 more red and the new probability is:
(x+5)/(5x+5) = 1/3
Simplify:
3x+15 = 5x+5
Now solve for x:
Subtract 3x from both sides:
15 = 2x +5
Subtract 5 from each side:
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 10/2
X = 5
There were originally 5 red marbles.
Total ratio = 4+7 = 11
33/11 = 3
4x3 = 12
7x3 = 21
so the two groups are 12:21
which is also = 4:7
The ratio is 2:3 for the side lengths of the triangles.
so 6:9 is one side and 5:x would be the other side
2/3 of five is 3.33 and multiplying that by 2 gives you 6.67
Answer:
$20.00
Step-by-step explanation:
t represents the total amount
0.25t = 5.00
Can you solve for t and answer?
Or logically
Peter's $5.00 is 1/4 (25%) of the total.
Therefore 4/4 is $20.00
