Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
If the probability of drawing a yellow jelly beans is 1/4, the box is has 1/4 yellow jellybeans.
1/4b=6
b=24
14+6+x=24
20+x=24
x=4
Answer:
36 blue jelly beans
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the total number of jelly beans by adding all red, yellow, and blue jelly beans together.
14+6+x
This simplifies to 20+x
For probability, it is (the number of things you want)/(the total number of things there are).
If the probably of drawing a yellow jelly bean is 1/4, we can set up this equation:
[tex]\frac{14}{20+x}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
We can cross multiply:
[tex]20+x=14(4)\\x+20+56\\x=36[/tex]
There are 36 blue jelly beans.
