The number of red chocolate bars is repeated. Make the number of red chocolate bars the same.
5 x 5 = 25%
Total number of yellow chocolate bars and white chocolate bars in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Number of white chocolate bars in percent
= 75% - 20%
= 55%
Number of more white chocolate bars than red chocolate bars in percent
= 55% - 20%
= 30%
30% = 300
1% = 300 ÷ 30 = 10
Number of more white chocolate bars than yellow chocolate bars
= 55% - 20%
= 35%
= 35 x 10
= 350
Answer(s): 350
