If you're looking to find X, then X would equal 16, since 16 minus 3 would equal 13
Answer:
160 total beads
Step-by-step explanation:
so if 1/4 of the beads are red, then 3/4 of them are not.....so 3/4 is the remainder of beads.....and 3/5 of the remainder are yellow....so 3/5 of 3/4 =
3/5 * 3/4 = 9/20...so 9/20 are yellow.....and the rest (48) are blue.
1/4 + 9/20 = 5/20 + 9/20 = 14/20 reduces to 7/10...so 7/10 of the beads are red and yellow
so if 7/10 of the beads are red and yellow, then 3/10 are blue
3/10 of what number is 48
3/10x = 48
x = 48 * 10/3
x = 480/3
x = 160
let me check it..
1/4 are red......160 total beads.....so red beads = (1/4 * 160) = 160/4 = 40
3/5 of the remainder is yellow.....so 3/5 of (160 - 40) = 3/5(120) = 72 yellow
and then u have 48 blue...
40 + 72 + 48 = 160
so there are 160 total beads.......40 red, 72 yellow, and 48 blue <===
Hello,
This problem can be simply solved by putting everything into fractions. Since there's a total of 50 shirts but 35 of them are medium sized then the fraction would be 35/50. You're trying to find the percentage so the 2nd fraction would be out of 100 so it would be ?/100.
35 ?
---- = ----
50 100
Now you diagonal multiplication then downwards division.
100 x 35=3500
3500/50=70
So your answer is 70%!! :D
Hope this helps a bunch!!!
