Answer:
The total number of marbles is 3.4*r
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 25% more red than blue, so we can write the equation:
[tex]red = 1.25*blue[/tex]
We have 60% more green than red, so:
[tex]green = 1.6*red[/tex]
In total we have 'r' red marbles, so:
[tex]red = r[/tex]
The total number of marbles in the collection is the sum of all three amount of marbles:
[tex]total = red + blue + green[/tex]
[tex]total = red + (red/1.25) + 1.6*red[/tex]
[tex]total = r + 0.8*r + 1.6*r[/tex]
[tex]total = 3.4*r[/tex]
The total number of marbles is 3.4*r
