In a bag full of candy, 1/4 of these are green, 1/8 are blue, 1/12 are yellow and the remaining 26 white. How many candies are blue?

In a bag of balls, 1/4th are green, 1/8th are blue, 1/12th are yellow and the remaining 26 are white. How many balls are blue?

There are 4 colours of balls - green, blue, yellow and white.

Add (1/4)+(1/8)+(1/12) = (6/24)+(3/24)+(2/24) = 11/24 so the balance or (24–11)/24 = 13/24 = 26 white. Hence the total number of balls are 2*24 = 48.

Of the 48 balls, green are (1/4)*48 = 12, blue are (1/8)*48 = 6, yellow are (1/12)*48 = 4 and the rest, white are 26.

Check: Total number of balls = 12+6+4+26 = 48

6 balls are blue.
