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

Answer:

$25

Step-by-step explanation:

We know,

Monthly interest = (Principal × Interest rate) ÷ 12

Given,

Loan principal = $3,000

Interest rate = 10% = 0.10

Therefore, monthly interest = ($3,000 × 0.10) ÷ 12

Monthly interest = $300 ÷ 12

Monthly interest = $25

Therefore, the principal amount to be paid per month is = $(96.80 - 25) = $71.80.

So, Jamison will pay $25 as interest for the 36-month $3,000 loan.
