What is Unitary Method?
The **unitary technique **involves first determining the value of a **single **unit, followed by the value of the necessary number of units.
For example , Let's say Ram spends 36 Rs. for a dozen (12) bananas.
12 bananas will set you back 36 Rs. 1 banana costs 36 x 12 = 3 Rupees.
As a result, one banana costs three rupees. Let's say we need to calculate the price of 15 bananas.
This may be done as follows: 15 bananas cost 3 rupees each; 15 units cost 45 rupees.
We have,
James has **total **16 balloons.
1/4 of them are Red
So, the number of Red balloons
= 16 x 1/4
= 4
Thus, there are 4 Red balloons.
