Answer:

Chris has 25 Marbles

Explanation:

If Adam starts with 10, Bradley will have twice as many, meaning Bradley's amount is 20. Making the new total, 30 Marbles. Chris has 5 More Marbles than Bradley, making Chris have 25 Marbles. If you add the total's up, you get 55 Marbles in total.

Hope this helps!!
