How many nuts are there in a bag if the bag contains 25% pistachio 20% cashew and 10% hazelnuts. The 60 remaining nuts are walnuts.
--------
Remaining percent: 100-(25+20+10) = 45%
--------
Let "x" be the # of nuts in the bag.
Solve:
0.45x = 60 walnuts
----
x = 60/0.45
x = 133 1/3 (total # of nuts)
