In a container, there are sweets of 3 colours, pink, silver and brown. There are 90 less brown sweets than silver sweets. The number of brown sweets is ¹₄ more than the pink sweets. Given that the number of brown sweets is 25% of the total number of sweets in the container, how many less pink sweets are there than silver sweets?

Pink sweets	Silver sweets	Brown sweets
	1 u + 90	1 u
4x5		5x5
75%		25%
20%	55%	25%

1 + ¹₄ = ⁴₄ + ¹₄ = ⁵₄

Yellow sweets : Purple sweets = 4 : 5

The number of brown sweets is repeated.  Make the number of brown sweets the same.

5 x 5 = 25%

Total number of pink sweets and silver sweets in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%

Number of silver sweets in percent
= 75% - 20%
= 55%

Number of more silver sweets than brown sweets in percent
= 55% - 20%
= 30%

30% = 90

1% = 90 ÷ 30 = 3

Number of less pink sweets than silver sweets
= 55% - 20%
= 35%
= 35 x 3
= 105

Answer(s): 105
