A bag of marbles contains only blue and white marbles. The bag has four times as many white marbles as blue. The bag contains 180 total marbles. How many of each type of marbles are in the bag?

There are 144 white marbles and 36 blue marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two types of marbles, and there are four times as many white marbles as blue marbles, we divide the amount of marbles by 5. 180 / 5 = 36. 36 times 4 equals 144, therefore there are 144 white marbles. 180 minus 144 equals 36. Therefore there are 36 blue marbles.
