Given :

A bag contains 120 marbles. Some are red and the rest are black. There are 17 red marbles for every 3 black marbles.

To Find :

How many red marbles are in the bag.

Solution :

Let, number of red and black marbles are x and y respectively.

So, x + y = 120    ....1)

Now, it is given that there are 17 red marbles for every 3 black marbles.

So, 3x = 17y        ....2)

Putting value of x from equation 2) to equation 1), we get :

Therefore, the number of red and black marbles are 102 and 18 respectively.

step-by-step explanation:

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
