There were some jelly beans in a jar. 1/3 of them were purple, 2/9 of them were yellow and the rest were orange. There were 312 orange jelly beans. How many jelly beans are there altogether?

     1/3 + 2/9  =  3/9 + 2/9  =  5/9    

 

     So 4/9 of the beans are orange.    

 

     (4/9)(total)  =  312     

 

     total  =  (9/4)(312)  =  702
