There are six times as many yellow jumpsuits as silver jumpsuits in a sale. If there are 182 yellow and silver jumpsuits altogether,
- how many yellow jumpsuits are there?
- how many more yellow jumpsuits than silver jumpsuits?
(a)
Number of silver jumpsuits = 1 u
Number of yellow jumpsuits
= 6 x 1 u
= 6 u
Total number of jumpsuits
= 6 u + 1 u
= 7 u
7 u = 182
1 u = 182 ÷ 7 = 26
Number of yellow jumpsuits
= 6 u
= 6 x 26
= 156
(b)
Number of more yellow jumpsuits than silver jumpsuits
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 26
= 130
Answer(s): (a) 156; (b) 130
