The number of white sweets is repeated. Make the number of white sweets the same.
4 x 5 = 20%
Total number of blue sweets and grey sweets in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
Number of grey sweets in percent
= 80% - 15%
= 65%
Number of more grey sweets than white sweets in percent
= 65% - 15%
= 45%
45% = 90
1% = 90 ÷ 45 = 2
Number of more grey sweets than blue sweets
= 65% - 15%
= 50%
= 50 x 2
= 100
Answer(s): 100
