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

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