A box contains 7 red, 14 yellow, 21 green, 42 blue, and 84 purple marbles. A marble is drawn at random from the box. Find the odds against drawing a purple or yellow marble.

A. 5 to 7

B. 5 to 12

C. 2 to 7

It could be = B

Step-by-step explanation:

because there is six times as much purple then there is yellow.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
