Tricia has some pink, red and yellow ribbons. 1/3 of them are pink ribbons. Four fewer than 1/3 of the remainder are red ribbons and the remaining 24 are yellow ribbons. How many pink ribbons does Tricia have?
Solution
4 units --> 24 - 4 = 20
1 unit --> 20 divided by 4 = 5
3 units --> 3 x 5 = 15
Answer: 15 pink ribbons
