Answer 1

Of all the peppers the chef has,5/7 are red and rest are green and the chef has total of 34 green peppers then she altogether has 119 peppers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total no.of peppers that the chef altogether has be “x”.

We are given that of total no.of peppers the chef has 5/7th are red peppers, so,  

The no.of red peppers will be = $\frac{5x}{7}$

∴ The no.of remaining peppers which are green peppers = x – $\frac{5x}{7}$ = $\frac{2x}{7}$

But, we are given that she has a total of 34 green peppers, therefore we can write the equation as,

[2/7] * x = 34  

⇒ x = 34 * 7/2

⇒ x = 119

Thus, she altogether has 119 peppers.
