Answer

Step-by-step explanation

Given the word problem, we can deduce the following information:

Jane = 15 marbles

Cherry=16 marbles

Louie = 12 marbles

Nina = 22 marbles left

To determine the total number of marbles Nina have at first, we add the number of marbles as shown below:


\begin{gathered} Total=15+16+12+22 \\ Calculate \\ Total=65 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is 65 marbles.
