A jar contains 24 marbles, some are green and others are blue. If a marble is drawn at random from the jar, the probability that it is green is Find the number of blue balls in the jar

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Total number of marbles = 24

Let the total number of green marbles be x

Then, total number of blue marbles = 24 - x

P (getting a given marble) =

According to the condition given in the question,

=

x = 16

Therefore, total number of green marbles in the jar = 16

Hence, total number of blue marbles = 24 - x

= 24 - 16

= 8
