Question

Luna Ray has 5 orange picks and no green picks you add some green picks so 1 in every 3 picks is orange.how many picks are there now And it’s not 2

Answer 1

Let p be the number of green picks added, so we have p green picks and 5+p picks altogether.
We didn’t add any orange picks so we still have 5 orange. Therefore 5/(5+p)=1/3.
Cross-multiplying: 15=5+p so p=10. In all we have 10+5=15 picks.
