and tablets in the stock room, how many laptops are in the stock room?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Group laptops and tablets in sets, combining 13 laptops and 17 tablets in each set.
The number of items in each set is 13+17 = 30.
Hence, the number of sets is 90:30 = 3.
It means that there are 3*13 = 39 laptops and 3*17 = 51 tablets. ANSWER
