Jewelery maker has
24 jade beads
30 teak Beads
She has to make necklaces with each necklace having the same number of beads
So we need to find the highest common factor for both 24 and 30
The factors for both numbers are as follows
24 -1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
30 - 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30
The highest common factor for both is 6
The greatest number of necklaces she can make is 6
Number of jade beads - 24/6 = 4 jade beads
Number of teak beads - 30/6 = 5 teak beads
So each necklace will have 4 jade beads and 5 teak beads
B. subtract the payroll tax from the gross income
