The ratio of red balls to green balls is 4:3. Three green balls need to be added in order for there to be the same number of green balls and red balls. How many red balls are there?


A. 3
B. 4
C. 8
D. 12
E. 24

We can let the number of red balls and green balls be 4x and 3x, respectively. Thus, we can create the equation:

3x + 3 = 4x

3 = x

Therefore, there are 4(3) = 12 red balls.

Answer: D

Red Green
4X 3X

Now 4x=3x+3
x=3

Total Red Balls= 4*3= 12
