Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Total number of green  tokens in the bag=36

Ratio of green tokens to black tokens=3:4

We have to find the number of black tokens in the bag.

Let x be the number of black tokens in the bag.

According to question

[tex]36:x=3:4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{36}{x}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

By cross multiply , then we get

[tex]144=3x[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{144}{3}=48[/tex]

By division property of equality

Hence, the number of blacken tokens in the bag=48
