Answer:

200 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

-We are given the total weight of the bag as 500grams

-Also given is, 20000cg of red marbles and 1000 dg of yellow balls and blue marbles.

#First we convert all units into grams:

[tex]20000cg=20000\times 0.01=200\ grams\\\\1000dg=1000\times \times 0.1=100\ grams[/tex]

#we then subtract the sum of the given weights from the total weights to get weight of the blue marbles:

[tex]B_w=500-(200+100)\\\\=200\ grams[/tex]

Hence, the weight of the blue marbles is 200 grams.
