53 Yellow lollipops : Purple lollipops = 3 : 5
The number of black lollipops is repeated. Make the number of black lollipops the same.
5 x 3 = 15%
Total number of gold lollipops and silver lollipops in percent
= 100% - 15%
= 85%
Number of silver lollipops in percent
= 85% - 9%
= 76%
Number of more silver lollipops than black lollipops in percent
= 76% - 9%
= 61%
61% = 610
1% = 610 ÷ 61 = 10
Number of more silver lollipops than gold lollipops
= 76% - 9%
= 67%
= 67 x 10
= 670
Answer(s): 670
