Question

Leo has three times as many colored marbles as he has clear-glass marbles. In total, he has 60 marbles. How many clear-glass marbles does he have?

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

Supposing:

Coloured marbles = x

Glass marbles = y

According to Question

x = 3y

As,

x + y = 60

3y + y = 60 (putting value of x = 3y)

4y = 60

y = 60/4

y = 15

Hence, Leo has 15 Clear-glass marbles
