There is a total of 276 beads in Paket A and Paket B. There are 36 fewer beads in Packet B then 4/9 of the number of beads in Pack A How many beads are there in Packet A?
Please help!!! QUICKLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+128407 Let the number of beads in Packet A = A
Let the number in Packet B = B
So
A + B = 276 (1)
B + 36 = (4/9)A ⇒ B = (4/9)A -36
Sub (2) inro (1) for B
A + (4/9) A - 36 = 276
(13/9) A = 276 + 36
(13/9) A = 312 multiply both sides by ( 9/13)
A = 312 ( 9/ 13) = 216 in packet A
