A bag of buttons contains 3 red, 4 orange, 7 green and 10 blue battens. How many orange buttons should be added so that makes up 1/4 of the total? (Remember, if you add more orange buttons, your total buttons will also increase.)

I think you have an error in this problem. No one has found your solution.
total now = 24
let the number of oranges to be added be x
so (4+x)/(24+x) = 1/4
16 + 4x = 24+x
3x = 8
x = 8/3
8/3 buttons ???
Questions is flawed, check your data or your typing.

6/24 is 25%, not 6/26
we need
(4+x)/(24+x) = 1/4
16+4x = 24+x
3x=8
eh? we need an integer solution. I suspect a typo.

Thanks everyone! I just checked teacher's newsletter. She mentioned in her newsletter that was a typo error in printed homework sheet. It is a 1/3 not 1/4.
I got it now! Answer is total 10 orange button.
again I really appreciate your time and help.
