Daniel had to paint some containers. On the first day, the number of containers he painted was 30% of the number of containers that he had not painted. One week later, he painted another 194 containers. As a result, the total number of painted containers became 29 more than
25 of the total number of containers. How many less containers were painted than unpainted on the first day?

Total |
Before
|
3x5 = 15 u |
10x5 = 50 u |
13x5 = 65 u |
Change |
+ 194 |
- 194 |
|
After |
15 u + 194 |
50 u - 194 |
65 u |
Comparing painted and not painted containers in the end |
2x13 + 29 = 26 u + 29 |
3x13 - 29 = 39 u - 29 |
5x13 = 65 u |
30% =
30100 =
310Painted : Not painted = 3 : 10
The total number of containers remains unchanged. Make the total number of containers at first and in the end the same. LCM of 13 and 5 is 65.
The number of containers painted in the end is repeated.
26 u + 29 = 15 u + 194
26 u - 15 u = 194 - 29
11 u = 165
1 u = 165 ÷ 11 = 15
Number of less containers that were painted than not painted on the first day
= 50 u - 15 u
= 35 u
= 35 x 15
= 525
Answer(s): 525
