Answer: There are 114 red marbles contained in the bag containing 120 marbles.

Explanation:

To find the amount of red marbles in the bag:

From the question, we can presume that for every 19 marbles in a bag, there exist a single black marble. This is the same case for the total number of marbles (both red and black) in each set is 20 marbles

Set of marbles: 120/20

Red marbles:

19r = 19 x 6

19r = 114 red marbles.

I hope this helps!
