    (a) 15

    (b) 40

    Step-by-step explanation:

    (a) There are 20 counters, and the probability of selecting a white counter is 0.75.

    0.75 = x / 20

    x = 15

    (b) The probability changes to 0.25. The number of black counters that must be added is:

    0.25 = 15 / (20 + x)

    20 + x = 60

    x = 40
