Lynn has a box of crayons.

Scrat [10]

Answer:

There are 72 crayons in the box

Step-by-step explanation:

Fractions

To solve this problem we'll manage numbers as fractions to keep the precision up to the end of it.

Lynn has a box of crayons. It's given 4/9 of the crayons are blue. The remaining crayons are:

$1-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{5}{9}$

From that portion, 65% are red, or equivalently, 35% are yellow.

We write 35% as a fraction:

$\displaystyle 35\%=\frac{35}{100}=\frac{7}{20}$

Thus, the portion of yellow crayons is:

$\displaystyle \frac{7}{20}\cdot \frac{5}{9}=\frac{7}{36}$

This fraction of x crayons is equal to 14, thus:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{14}{\frac{7}{36}}=14\cdot\frac{36}{7}$

x = 72
