0.10r + 0.20b = 24
3r = b + 20....b = 3r - 20
0.10r + 0.20(3r - 20) = 24
0.10r + 0.60r - 4 = 24
0.70r = 24 + 4
0.70r = 28
r = 28/0.70
r = 40 <=== there are 40 reds
0.10r + 0.20b = 24
0.10(40) + 0.20b = 24
4 + 0.20b = 24
0.20b = 24 - 4
0.20b = 20
b = 20/0.20
b = 100 <=== there are 100 blues
In this problem, we are asked to give an expression that can be used to mentally multiply 6 and 198. In order not to go through the rigorous multiplication, we can estimate 198 to 200, that is 6 *200 equal to 1200. Since there is a 2*6 excess or 12 then we subtract: 1200 -12 equal to 1188.
