Question

A box contains a combination of solid-colored tickets: 1/10 of the tickets are green, 1/2 are red, 1/4 are blue, and the remaining 30 tickets are white. How many blue tickets are in the box?

Answer 1

Good morning, Kaylynleblanc!

The box will be represented as (x)

White tickets = (1 - 1/10 - 1/2 - 1/4)x = 30

3/20 x = 30

x = 30 x 20 / 3 = 200

Blue tickets = 1/4 x 200 = 50

I hope this answer has satisfied you, and sorry if I made any mistakes as it is 5:31 am for me, and I am really tired. If you need anymore help, feel free to ask. Have a good day!

Answer 2

The box will be represented as (x)

White tickets = (1 - 1/10 - 1/2 - 1/4)x = 30

3/20 x = 30

x = 30 x 20 / 3 = 200

Blue tickets = 1/4 x 200 = 50
