Two young lovers accidentally dropped a package full of condoms. One third of the condoms stayed in the package, one-fourth got caught in the bed sheets, one -sixth spilled to the floor, and one-eighth rolled out of the door; She caught one-ninth of them, and he put on the one remaining. How many condoms were in the package, and how many went where?\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " One third of the condoms stayed in the package, x/3.... 24
\n" ); document.write( "one-fourth got caught in the bed sheets, x/4....... 18

\n" ); document.write( "and one-eighth rolled out of the door; x/8........ 9
\n" ); document.write( "She caught one-ninth of them, x/9........... 8
