Question

Mrs. Sanchez has a bag of assorted nuts that contain almonds, pecans, and walnuts. 1/3 of the nuts are almonds and 3/4 of the remainder are pecans. There are 300 nuts in the bag. How many walnuts are in the bag

Answer 1

There are 50 walnuts, 100 Almonds, and 150 Pecans.

Answer 2

Almonds = 1/3*(300) = 100

remainder is 300 - 100 = 200

pecans = 3/4*(200) = 150

walnuts = 300 - 100 - 150 = 50

there are 50 walnuts in the bag
