In a container, there are sweets of 3 colours, grey, red and yellow. There are 88 more red sweets than yellow sweets. The number of yellow sweets is ¹₄ more than the grey sweets. Given that the number of yellow sweets is 20% of the total number of sweets in the container, how many more red sweets are there than grey sweets?

Grey sweets	Red sweets	Yellow sweets
	1 u + 88	1 u
4x4		5x4
80%		20%
16%	64%	20%

1 + ¹₄ = ⁴₄ + ¹₄ = ⁵₄

Yellow sweets : Purple sweets = 4 : 5

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

5 x 4 = 20%

Total number of grey sweets and red sweets in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%

Number of red sweets in percent
= 80% - 16%
= 64%

Number of more red sweets than yellow sweets in percent
= 64% - 16%
= 44%

44% = 88

1% = 88 ÷ 44 = 2

Number of more red sweets than grey sweets
= 64% - 16%
= 48%
= 48 x 2
= 96

Answer(s): 96
