Answer 2

Answer:

The total number of Kuti Kuti pieces is 192

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumption,

Let the number of red Kuti Kuti pieces be 'x'.

Let the number of blue Kuti Kuti pieces be 'y'.

Let the number of green Kuti Kuti pieces be 'z'.

Given,

3/4 of the Kuti Kuti pieces are red

i.e. 3/4 × (x + y + z) = x....(1)

The blue Kuti Kuti pieces are 6 times as many as the green ones.

i.e. y = 6 × z...(2)

The number of blue Kuti Kuti pieces (y) = 42

To find,

The number of total Kuti Kuti pieces

Calculation,

Substituting y = 42 in equation (2)

⇒ 42 = 6 × z

⇒ z = 7

Therefore, there are 7 green Kuti Kuti pieces.

Now putting y = 42 and z = 7 in equation (1)

⇒ 3/4 × (x + y + z) = x

⇒ 3/4 × (x + 42 + 7) = x

⇒ 3 (x + 49) = 4x

⇒ 3x + 147 = 4x

⇒ x = 147

Therefore, the no. of red Kuti Kuti pieces is 147.

Hence, the total number of Kuti Kuti pieces are (x + y + z) = (147 + 42 + 7) = 192
