There are 222 red marbles in a box. Amit takes out 6 red marbles and replaces them with 12 blue
marbles. He continues doing this till all the red marbles are replaced with blue marbles.
Which of the following expressions gives the total number of blue marbles he put in the box?
A (222 + 6) = 12 B (222 - 6) + 12 C (222 - 6) + 12 D (222 + 6) x 12
You put B and C as the same thing but the correct option is this because first you take away 6 (subtract 6) from the 222 marbles then you replace them with 12 (add 12).
