Pl help....

using ratio and equating ratio parts is the usual approach..

shaded --> 2 units
A --> 10 units, A-unshaded --> 8 units
B --> 5 units, B-unshaded --> 3 units
Total area--> 10 units + 3 units = 13 units
Total unshaded area --> 8 units + 3 units = 11 units
Fraction of figure that is unshaded --> 11/13

cheers

An equal number of male & female runners participated in a marathon race.
After 980 female runners and 350 male runners dropped out of the race, the number of female runners left was 1/6 the number of male runners.
What was the total number of runners at the start of the race?
(Can help by showing the model-drawing?)

Hope this comes out ok... sketch on mobile...

When 2 red marbles were put into the box and 6 yellow marble were taken out, there was 3 times as many red marbles than yellow marble in the box.
What was the total number of marbles at 1st?

Hi Tianzhu/007, I have another question here:


A badminton racket costs $24 more than a table tennis bat and $9 more than a basketball. Benedict bought 2 badminton rackets, 3 table tennis bats and 3 basketballs and paid a total of $279. How much did the basketball costs?

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

I try....

Badminton racket = TT +$24
Badminton racket = Bketball + $9

(TT+24)=Bketball+9
Bketball= (TT+24)-9
Bketball= TT+15

Given: 2Badminton + 3TT + 3Bketball = 279

2Badminton= 2TT+48
3TT=3TT
3Bketball = 3TT+45

So, 2Badminton + 3TT + 3Bketball = 279
also means:
2TT+48+3TT+3TT+45=279
8TT+93=279
8TT=186
TT=23.25

Bketball = TT+15
=23.25+15
=$38.25 ANS

Am I correct ?
