There are six times as many gold jumpsuits as grey jumpsuits in a sale. If there are 119 gold and grey jumpsuits altogether,
- how many gold jumpsuits are there?
- how many more gold jumpsuits than grey jumpsuits?
(a)
Number of grey jumpsuits = 1 u
Number of gold jumpsuits
= 6 x 1 u
= 6 u
Total number of jumpsuits
= 6 u + 1 u
= 7 u
7 u = 119
1 u = 119 ÷ 7 = 17
Number of gold jumpsuits
= 6 u
= 6 x 17
= 102
(b)
Number of more gold jumpsuits than grey jumpsuits
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 17
= 85
Answer(s): (a) 102; (b) 85
