The figure, not drawn to scale, is made up of 3 different triangles P, Q and R. 15% of triangle P and 35% of triangle R is shaded. The shaded area of P is the same as the shaded area of R. What fraction of the figure is shaded if 25% of Triangle Q is shaded?
Unshaded area of P |
Shaded area of P |
Unshaded area of R |
Shaded area of R |

14The shaded area of P is the same as the shaded area of R.
Make the LCM of the shaded area of P and shaded area of R the same.
LCM of 3 and 7 = 21
14 of Q is shaded
= Shaded area of P + Shaded area of R
= 21 u + 21 u
= 42 u
Fraction of Q that is unshaded
= 1 -
14 =
34 14 of Q = 42 u
34 of Q = 3 x 42 u = 126 u
Fraction of the figure that is shaded if 25% of Triangle Q is shaded
=
42 + 42119 + 126 + 39 + 42 + 42 =
84368=
