Anyone, please help:
The figure below, not drawn to scale is made up of a square, a rectangle and a triangle, 1/6 of the square is shaded, 1/5 of the triangle is shaded and 1/4 of the rectangle is shaded. IF THE SHADED AREA IS 7/17 of the shaded area of the triangle, what fraction of the total area of the figure is not shaded?

apparently the sum of all the shaded areas is less than the shaded area of the triangle. I don't see how that can be.
