A bag contains a number of marbles of which 35 are blue, 10 are red and the rest are
yellow. If the probability of selecting a yellow marble from the bag at random is , how
many yellow marbles are in the bag?

Y = 45*p(y) / (1 - p(y))    if I knew what p(y) is, we can find how many yellow marbles there are.   p(y) = probability of choosing yellow.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total marbles =  35 + 10 + yellow

If probability of choosing yellow =p(y) = yellow/Total

p(y) =  Y/(35 + 10 + Y)

Solve for Y,

p(y)*(35 + 10 + Y) = Y

45*p(y) + p(y)*Y = Y

45*p(y) = Y - p(y)*Y

Y = 45*p(y) / (1 - p(y))
