Beatrice arranged some beads in 15 short rows and 14 long rows. there were 36 more beads in each long row than each short row. Beatrice used 70% of the beads to arrange in long rows while the rest of the beads were arranged in short rows. How many beads were there in each short row?


steps and explanations pls

70% of her beads are arranged into 14 long rows.

14L => 70%
1L => 5%
100% =>20L (if she uses all her beads for Long rows she can arrange 20 Long rows)


30% => 15S
2% => 1S
100% => 50S (if she uses all her beads for short rows she can arrange 50Short rows)

no of beads for 20L = no of beads for 50S

20x36=720 (20L will have 720 more beads than 20S)

50 - 20 = 30

30S = 720
1S = 24

ANS= 24

Hi, Can someone help me with this Remainder Concept Qn.


Wiki had some beads. He gave 2/5 of them to his brother. 1/3 of the remaining beads were shared among his three friends. if each friend received 45 lesser than the amount received by Wiki's brother, how many beads did Wiki have at first??

5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5 (remainder)

1/3 of the remainder = 1/3* 3/5 = 1/5
So 1/5 of Wiki's beads are given to his 3 friends.

1/5 divided by 3 = 1/15 (Each of the 3 friends will get 1/15 of his beads)

2/5 - 1/15 =5/15

5/15 of Wiki's bead = 45
1/15 =9
15/15 =135

So wiki had 135 beads at first

CASE CLOSED............ Ive found the ans :rahrah:
