Mysoon collects glass ornaments ten more than 1/6 of the ornaments in her collection are handmadeand 1/2 of the handmade ornaments are antiques.If 1/9 of the ornaments in her collection are handmade antiques,how many ornaments are in her collection?

pls share thy calculation.

[nenuphani]

Is it 180?

say, x is the no. of collection.

then ((x/6) + 10 )/2 = x/9 ==> x = 180

[katia]

I got the same result: S=180 (s=sum of ornaments)
handmade ornaments are H=1/6*s + 10
antiques A=1/2*H=1/9*S
thus S=4.5H (plug this into first equation)
S=180

[sarina]

Yes, it should be 180 .
