Question

(please Answer to the question ) pearl set broke, with an eighth of the pearls falling onto the floor, a fourth going under a chair, two-fifths staying on the sofa and eighteen pieces staying on the strand. How many pearls fell on the floor? (ans= 10) please explain​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be = total number of pearls.

so::

x/6 + x/5 + x/3 + x/10 + 6 = x (multiply this equ with 30. then we get::

5x + 6x + 10x + 3x + 180 = 30x

24x + 180 = 30x

6x = 180

x = 30

so the total pearls are 30.
