In a box, 40% of the beads are pink, 12% are gold and the rest are yellow
- What fraction of the beads is yellow? Give your answer in the simplest form.
- There are 552 yellow beads in the box. How many beads are there in the box altogether?
(a)
Percentage of beads that are yellow
= 100% - 40% - 12%
= 48%
Fraction of beads that are yellow
=
48100 =
1225 (b)
Number of yellow beads = 12 u
12 u = 552
1 u = 552 ÷ 12 = 46
Total number of beads
= 25 u
= 25 x 46
= 1150
Answer(s): (a)
1225; (b) 1150
