collection are handmade, and of the handmade ornaments are antiques.

If of the ornaments in her collection are handmade antiques, how many

ornaments are in her collection?

Are you sure u are not missing anything on the Question?

No, this is how the question is posed. I copy/pasted it directly from PR.

I knew something was wrong.. please double chk before u post a question... this is the real question...

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

now its very easy ...

say, x is the no. of collection.

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

hope it helps...[/b]
