Question 580998: Lynn's snack bag contains only red and green grapes. the number of green grapes is 5 more then the number of red grapes. if the probability of selecting green grapes is 10/15. how many red grapes are in the bag? How many green grapes?
Answer by dfrazzetto(283) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
g = r + 5
total grapes = g + r = r + 5 + r
g/total = 10/15
g/(g+r) = (r+5)/(2r+5) = 10/15
r = 5
5 red grapes, 10 green grapes
