The figure, not drawn to scale, is made up of 3 different triangles W, X and Y. 20% of triangle W and 35% of triangle Y is shaded. The shaded area of W is the same as the shaded area of Y. What fraction of the figure is shaded if 25% of Triangle X is shaded?
Unshaded area of W |
Shaded area of W |
Unshaded area of Y |
Shaded area of Y |
4x7 |
1x7 |
13x1 |
7x1 |
28 u |
7 u |
13 u |
7 u |
20% =

14The shaded area of W is the same as the shaded area of Y.
Make the LCM of the shaded area of W and shaded area of Y the same.
LCM of 1 and 7 = 7
14 of X is shaded
= Shaded area of W + Shaded area of Y
= 7 u + 7 u
= 14 u
Fraction of X that is unshaded
= 1 -
14 =
34 14 of X = 14 u
34 of X = 3 x 14 u = 42 u
Fraction of the figure that is shaded if 25% of Triangle X is shaded
=
14 + 1428 + 42 + 13 + 14 + 14=
