In a bag full of pencils, 3/4 of the pencils were
colored pencils, and 8/15 of the colored pencils were red. If there were 40 red pencils in the bag, what was the total number of pencils in the bag?Solution
LCM (4, 15) = 60 Let the total number of pencils be 60x. Number of colored pencils = 60x x 3/4 =45x Number of red-colored pencils = 45x x 8/15 =24x According to the question, 24x = 40 3x = 5 x = 5/3 Now, total number of pencils = 60x =60 x 5/3 =100 The total number of pencils in the bag was 100.
