In a box, 32% of the beads are yellow, 12% are blue and the rest are green
- What fraction of the beads is green? Give your answer in the simplest form.
- There are 476 green beads in the box. How many beads are there in the box altogether?
(a)
Percentage of beads that are green
= 100% - 32% - 12%
= 56%
Fraction of beads that are green
=
56100 =
1425 (b)
Number of green beads = 14 u
14 u = 476
1 u = 476 ÷ 14 = 34
Total number of beads
= 25 u
= 25 x 34
= 850
Answer(s): (a)
1425; (b) 850
