At a recent funfair,a total of $920 was received from the sales of coloured balloons. Each silver ballon cost $2,each red balloon cost $1 and each gold balloon cost$3. Given that the 2/5 of the balloons are silver, 1/4 the remaining balloons are red and the rest are gold. How many silver balloons are sold?

Given that the 2/5 of the balloons are silver -->剩下 3/5 1 - 2/5 = 3/5
1/4 the remaining balloons are red --> 剩下的要是四份 即 4的倍数 但上个条件剩下的是三份
所以 3/5 = 12/20(remaining) 1/4 X 12/20 = 3/20(red) 12/20 - 3/20 = 9/20 (gold) 2/5 = 8/20(silver)
