Seven circles are joined in a zigzag chain, each circle connected by a line to the next. Two of them are filled in: the leftmost circle holds 3/4 and the circle above and to its right holds 9/4.
In the figure above, the sum of the values inside any two circles joined by a line equals 3 — for example, 9/4 + 3/4 = 3. What is the sum of the numbers inside all seven circles?
A- (9frac{1}{4})
B- (9frac{3}{4})
