Expert Answer
Let blue marbles for Jane be x
The, red marbles for Jane will be 20 - x
John has 30 marbles, 18 of which are red and 12 of which are blue.
Thus, 
We use the same ratio for Jane.
3 × x = 2 × (20 - x)
3x = 40 - 2x
5x = 40
John has 12 blue marbles. So, he has 12 - 8 = 4 more blue marbles than Jane.
