[QUOTE="njonasizcool, post: 2458870, member: 842658"] ...other contains other gadgets.? Neither box stated how many parts were inside. At different times, 4 employees were asked to get parts from the 2 boxes. The employees were asked to keep track of the amount of parts from each box. 1. Emo said, "I immediately followed Betty, and took exactly 2/3 of the remaining items from the red box. I also took precisely remaining gizmos." 2.Ron said, "I'm not sure what color they were, but I unsealed both boxes and took exactly 20% of the contents of each." 3.Rube said, "I was the last to arrive & I took the final 4 doodads from its box. There were 20 gizmos remaining, but I only needed 8 of them." 4. Patsy said, " I arrived just after Ron. I took exactly half of the contents of the red box and 2/3 of the contents of the blue box." Can you help me solve this? The color of the shipping box and the order each employee obtained parts, and how many of each part was taken must be found to find the answer. The original number of gadgets orgizmos present is the answer to be determined. [/QUOTE]
