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