A bag contains purple marbles and white marbles, 104 in total. The number of purple marbles is 2 more than 5 times the number of white marbles. How many purple marbles are there?

Let white marbles = x

Purple marbles = 5x + 2

Given:

x + 5x + 2 = 104

6x = 102

x = 17

Purple marbles = 5(17) + 2 = 85 + 2 = 87

step-by-step explanation:

the total is 23.97. 0.25% is off so you have to subtracting 25% from 100% and you will get 75% if you convert it to decimal you will get 0.75. you have to find the original because the formula is % times original = total.so you have the total and the % so you just have to plug it in.
