Question

Two thirds of the beads in a box are red, one-fourth are yellow and the rest are blue There are 35 more red beads than blue beads. How many beads are there altogether​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let X be the total no. of beads

rrd beads = 2/3 X

yellow beads = 1/4 X

blue beads = 1 - ( 2/3+1/4)

blue beads = 1 - ( (2*4+1*3)/12)

= 1- 11/12 = 1 / 12 X

red beads - blue beads = 35

(2/3-1/12) *X = 35

((2*4-1)/12)*X = 35

((8-1)/12)*X= 35

7/12 *X = 35

X = 35*12/7

X= 5*12= 60
