There are five times as many white jumpsuits as black jumpsuits in a sale. If there are 132 white and black jumpsuits altogether,
- how many white jumpsuits are there?
- how many more white jumpsuits than black jumpsuits?
(a)
Number of black jumpsuits = 1 u
Number of white jumpsuits
= 5 x 1 u
= 5 u
Total number of jumpsuits
= 5 u + 1 u
= 6 u
6 u = 132
1 u = 132 ÷ 6 = 22
Number of white jumpsuits
= 5 u
= 5 x 22
= 110
(b)
Number of more white jumpsuits than black jumpsuits
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 22
= 88
Answer(s): (a) 110; (b) 88
