In a box, 36% of the beads are pink, 20% are gold and the rest are yellow
- What fraction of the beads is yellow? Give your answer in the simplest form.
- There are 528 yellow beads in the box. How many beads are there in the box altogether?
(a)
Percentage of beads that are yellow
= 100% - 36% - 20%
= 44%
Fraction of beads that are yellow
=
44100 =
1125 (b)
Number of yellow beads = 11 u
11 u = 528
1 u = 528 ÷ 11 = 48
Total number of beads
= 25 u
= 25 x 48
= 1200
Answer(s): (a)
1125; (b) 1200
