1) Ricky had a bag containing colorful marbles. The colors are red, green and blue. The total number of marbles he had in his bag is 60. There are 4 times as many red marbles as green marbles. 6 more blue marbles than green marbles. How many marbles of each color did Ricky have?



2) Tina have some parrots and some cages for it. If she put 4 parrots into each cage then she will have one cage left. If she put 3 parrots into each cage then she will have one parrot left over. How many parrots and cages does she have?



3) Two fathers took their sons to a fruit stall. Each man and son bought an apple, But when they returned home, they had only 3 apples. They did not eat, lost, or thrown. How could this be possible?
 
1 there are r number red marbles g number green , and b number blue marbles.

R+ g+ b= 60

R=4 g

B=g+6

Substitute r and b in terms of g

4g + g+6 + g=60

6 g = 54
G= 9

B= 6+ g=6+9=15

9+ 15+ r=60
r = 60 -24=36

Red marbles 36

Green marbles 9

Blue marbles 15
Total. 60
