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 3 : 5 : 4.
If there are 110 more blue stickers than yellow stickers,
how many green stickers are there?
Green |
Yellow |
Blue |
Red |
7 x 6 |
2 x 6 |
|
3 x 1 |
5 x 1 |
4 x 1 |
42 u |
3 u |
5 u |
4 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 12.
LCM of 2 and 12 = 12
Number of more blue stickers than yellow stickers
= 5 u - 3 u
= 2 u
2 u = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 2 = 55
Number of green stickers
= 42 u
= 42 x 55
= 2310
Answer(s): 2310
