OpenStudy (blm1):

You could get reported for giving out a direct answer just to let you know. Thank you for the help, but could you explain how I can know it's 40?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@blm1 see in total of 30chips 12 were pink...so wht can be the numer of pink chips when a total of 100 chips are there ??

OpenStudy (victor_2215):

he pulled out more blue chips than pink so that eliminates 82 and 88

OpenStudy (blm1):

I knew that's what I had to do, I just don't know how to figure that out :/

OpenStudy (blm1):

@victor_2215 alright that makes sense.

rishavraj (rishavraj):

think like this.... in $10 u can buy 5 pens so how many pens can u buy in $24

OpenStudy (victor_2215):

exactly

OpenStudy (blm1):

Okay so the pens would be $2 each (in the first one) So 12?

OpenStudy (blm1):

For the pen example XD

OpenStudy (helpkay):

I forget how to do these question but I would have to go with victor_2215

rishavraj (rishavraj):

yup so if in 30 chips there are 12 pink chips then how many would be in 100chips ?? @blm1

OpenStudy (blm1):

IDK how to figure it out when its a bigger number like that. With the pens I just counted in my head.

rishavraj (rishavraj):

see in $10 u got 5 pens then in $1 u would get 5/10 pens so in $24 u would get (5/10)*24 = 12 u got tht??? @blm1

OpenStudy (blm1):

OH I get it now. So I did 12 /3 = 4. So then I did 4x10=40. I get it! :)

OpenStudy (blm1):

Alright, the answer was 40. Thank you everyone for your help :)
