In a box, 48% of the erasers are gold, 16% are white and the rest are green
- What fraction of the erasers is green? Give your answer in the simplest form.
- There are 666 green erasers in the box. How many erasers are there in the box altogether?
(a)
Percentage of erasers that are green
= 100% - 48% - 16%
= 36%
Fraction of erasers that are green
=
36100 =
925 (b)
Number of green erasers = 9 u
9 u = 666
1 u = 666 ÷ 9 = 74
Total number of erasers
= 25 u
= 25 x 74
= 1850
Answer(s): (a)
925; (b) 1850
