Respuesta :

calculista

Answer:

There are 111 blue bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of black bags

y ---> the number of blue bags

we know that

[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

isolate the variable y

[tex]y=\frac{3}{5}x[/tex] -----> equation A

[tex]x=185[/tex] ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

[tex]y=\frac{3}{5}(185)[/tex]

[tex]y=111[/tex]

therefore

There are 111 blue bags
