Answer 1

have you attempted this ?
got any equation ?>

Answer 2

write their ratio multiply x...add them then equate to 2500

Answer 3

So so far I said:

Let c be the circle, s be the square, and t be the triangle.
Then I got
2c=s
and
3s=t

But then I'm completely stumped.

Answer 4

total = 2500
so, c+s+t = 2500
3 equations, 3 unknows

Answer 5

in c+s+t = 2500
put t=3s

then put all 's' = 2c
what u get ?

Answer 6

Oh wow I actually did do this and I got a decimal answer before! I've got to try this again and see what I get

Answer 7

yeah, even i get c = 2500/9 .....

Answer 8

Yeah exactly

Answer 9

I think it can be done with 1 unknown.

2 circ for every square
3 x squares for every triangle
1 triangle = 3 squares = 2circles
for every 3 squares, 6 circles were made

For every triangle there were 3 squares and 6 circles constructed.
250 triangles 750 squares and 1500 circles.
Is that what you get?

Answer 10

@wolf1728 Yeah your answer is right, it's supposed to be 250 triangles, but is there a way you can show this with variables and algebra?

Answer 11

It is in the proportion of 1 triangle 3 squares 6 circles these proportions (1 + 3 + 6) add up to 10. Divide 2,500 by ten to get triangles produced.
Think I'll need to think more to produce an actual algebraic equation.

Answer 12

Let x = # of triangles produced. 3x is the number of squares produced.
6 x - number of circles for every triangle constructed.
So x + 3x + 6x = 2500
x is 250
and so on.

Answer 13

Ahhh yes this makes so much more sense, thank you! :)

Answer 14

s=3t
c=2s = 6t
s+c+t = 2500
3t+6t +t = 2500
guess i m too late :P

Answer 15

but you nonetheless found it :-)
