The number of brown chocolate bars is repeated. Make the number of brown chocolate bars the same.
6 x 4 = 24%
Total number of red chocolate bars and pink chocolate bars in percent
= 100% - 24%
= 76%
Number of pink chocolate bars in percent
= 76% - 20%
= 56%
Number of more pink chocolate bars than brown chocolate bars in percent
= 56% - 20%
= 32%
32% = 192
1% = 192 ÷ 32 = 6
Number of more pink chocolate bars than red chocolate bars
= 56% - 20%
= 36%
= 36 x 6
= 216
Answer(s): 216
