56 marbles
56 marbles (TOTAL)
60 marbles.. each point of the six pointed star has 10
You could solve by repetitive subtraction, or division. 45/8 = 5, with remainder of 5.So 5 boys can each have 8 marbles, which is 40 marbles, and there will be 5 marbles remaining.
That would depend on how many yellow and blue marbles are in a pack. If yellow and blue marbles are sold separately and there are the same number of marbles in a pack, buy one of each. That's probably not the case.
