Adam has stickers in 4 colours.
56 of the stickers are yellow.
The rest of the stickers are blue, green and red in the ratio of 3 : 5 : 3.
If there are 10 more green stickers than blue stickers,
how many yellow stickers are there?
Yellow |
Blue |
Green |
Red |
5 x 11 |
1 x 11 |
|
3 x 1 |
5 x 1 |
3 x 1 |
55 u |
3 u |
5 u |
3 u |
The number of yellow, blue and green stickers is the combined repeated identity.
Make the number of yellow, blue and green stickers the same using the LCM of 1 and 11.
LCM of 1 and 11 = 11
Number of more green stickers than blue stickers
= 5 u - 3 u
= 2 u
2 u = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 2 = 5
Number of yellow stickers
= 55 u
= 55 x 5
= 275
Answer(s): 275
