A jar contains 10 red marbles and 30 green marbles . How many red marbles must be added to the jar so that 60% of the marbles will be red ? Correct Answer 35

New percentage of green marbles = 100% - 60% = 40% Now, 40% of total marbles = 30 [number of green marbles remains unchanged] So, total number or 100% of marbles = 30 x 100 / 40 = 75 More red marbles required = 75 - (10 + 30) = 35
