Lisa is coloring her creataion. The blue color (B)used is 50% of the green (G)color used, yellow (Y)is 5% of the blue color used, and brown (R)is 7% of the amount of green used. She wants to find the total amount of color used by her.
a. Find the total amount of color used by Lisa using an algebraic expression.
b. Comment on the kind of terms of the algebraic expression.
let green used=G
B=50% OF G=50G/100=G/2
Y=5% OF B =5B/100=5G/200=G/40
R=7% OF G =7G/100
TOTAL COLOUR USED =G+B+Y+R=G+G/2 + G/40 +7G/100=G(200+100+50+14)/200=364G/200=91G/50
b. Comment on the kind of terms of the algebraic expression.
TERMS ARE FRACTIONS OF GREEN USED
