In a box, there are sweets of 3 colours, pink, yellow and green. There are 48 more yellow sweets than green sweets. The number of green sweets is ¹₄ more than the pink sweets. Given that the number of green sweets is 30% of the total number of sweets in the box, how many more yellow sweets are there than pink sweets?

Pink sweets	Yellow sweets	Green sweets
	1 u + 48	1 u
4x6		5x6
70%		30%
24%	46%	30%

1 + ¹₄ = ⁴₄ + ¹₄ = ⁵₄

Yellow sweets : Purple sweets = 4 : 5

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

5 x 6 = 30%

Total number of pink sweets and yellow sweets in percent
= 100% - 30%
= 70%

Number of yellow sweets in percent
= 70% - 24%
= 46%

Number of more yellow sweets than green sweets in percent
= 46% - 24%
= 16%

16% = 48

1% = 48 ÷ 16 = 3

Number of more yellow sweets than pink sweets
= 46% - 24%
= 22%
= 22 x 3
= 66

Answer(s): 66
