130 apples at the party. There were 3 times as many yellow apples as green apples, there were twice as many red apples as yellow apples. How many red apples were at the party

There were 78 red apples at the party.

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation can be represented by the equation  

x + 3x + 2(3x) = 130    where x is the number of green apples, 3x is the number of  yellow apples and 2(3x) is the number  of red apples.

Now solve for x

x +3x +2(3x) =130

4x + 6x = 130

10x  = 130

x =  13  

Now we know that x is 13 so put it into the expression for red apples and solve for the actual number of red apples.

2 * (3*13)  = ?

2 * 39 = 78  

5/12, or 5: 12
