8/9 of the remainder
= 4/7 of the original total
= 8/14 of the original total
This means that :
The remainder = 9 units
The original total = 14 units
Hence 5 units = 175
1 unit = 35
(a) 5/14
(b) 35 × 14 = 70 × 7 = 490 t-shirts at first.
(b) The number of blue buttons did not change.
2/5 of the new total is 72 blue buttons,
which means that there were
72 ÷ 2 × 3 = 108 Red buttons in the end.
