The figure, not drawn to scale, is made up of 3 different triangles V, W and X. 25% of triangle V and 30% of triangle X is shaded. The shaded area of V is the same as the shaded area of X. What fraction of the figure is shaded if 20% of Triangle W is shaded?
Unshaded area of V |
Shaded area of V |
Unshaded area of X |
Shaded area of X |

1x3 |
7x1 |

9 u |
3 u |
7 u |
3 u |

15The shaded area of V is the same as the shaded area of X.
Make the LCM of the shaded area of V and shaded area of X the same.
LCM of 1 and 3 = 3
15 of W is shaded
= Shaded area of V + Shaded area of X
= 3 u + 3 u
= 6 u
Fraction of W that is unshaded
= 1 -
15 =
45 15 of W = 6 u
45 of W = 4 x 6 u = 24 u
Fraction of the figure that is shaded if 20% of Triangle W is shaded
=
6 + 69 + 24 + 7 + 6 + 6 =
1252=
