Adam has stickers in 4 colours.
79 of the stickers are green.
The rest of the stickers are yellow, blue and red in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 6.
If there are 110 more blue stickers than yellow stickers,
how many green stickers are there?
Green |
Yellow |
Blue |
Red |
7 x 9 |
2 x 9 |
|
1 x 2 |
2 x 2 |
6 x 2 |
63 u |
2 u |
4 u |
12 u |
The number of green, yellow and blue stickers is the combined repeated identity.
Make the number of green, yellow and blue stickers the same using the LCM of 2 and 9.
LCM of 2 and 9 = 18
Number of more blue stickers than yellow stickers
= 4 u - 2 u
= 2 u
2 u = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 2 = 55
Number of green stickers
= 63 u
= 63 x 55
= 3465
Answer(s): 3465
