There are five times as many pink windbreakers as yellow windbreakers in a sale. If there are 192 pink and yellow windbreakers altogether,
- how many pink windbreakers are there?
- how many more pink windbreakers than yellow windbreakers?
(a)
Number of yellow windbreakers = 1 u
Number of pink windbreakers
= 5 x 1 u
= 5 u
Total number of windbreakers
= 5 u + 1 u
= 6 u
6 u = 192
1 u = 192 ÷ 6 = 32
Number of pink windbreakers
= 5 u
= 5 x 32
= 160
(b)
Number of more pink windbreakers than yellow windbreakers
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 32
= 128
Answer(s): (a) 160; (b) 128
