A box contains 156 rubber bands. There are 100 yellow rubber bands and the rest are green or red. The green ones are 3 times as many as the red ones.
a) Find the number of green bands.
Let x be the munber of the red ones. Then, the number of green ones are 3x.
x+3x+100 = 156
4x = 56
x = 14
∴the number of green bands are 14X3=42.
b) Find the probability of getting a red band if a band is randomly chosen from the box.
P(getting a red band)
=14/156
=1/14
c) y red bands are added to the box. The probability of part b) becomes 10/81 . Find y.
(14+y)/(156+y) = 10/81
1134+81y = 1560+10y
71y = 426
y = 6
