A bag contains 100 marbles; some are red and some are purple. Suppose a student, without looking, chooses a marble out of the bag, records the color, and then places that marble back in the bag. The student has recorded 9 red marbles and 11 purple marbles. Using these results, predict the number of red marbles in the bag.
What is 45.
9 red + 11 purple = 20 total
(9x5) + (11x5) = 20x5
45 + 55 = 100
