The number of green chocolate bars is repeated. Make the number of green chocolate bars the same.
6 x 3 = 18%
Total number of grey chocolate bars and blue chocolate bars in percent
= 100% - 18%
= 82%
Number of blue chocolate bars in percent
= 82% - 15%
= 67%
Number of more blue chocolate bars than green chocolate bars in percent
= 67% - 15%
= 49%
49% = 196
1% = 196 ÷ 49 = 4
Number of more blue chocolate bars than grey chocolate bars
= 67% - 15%
= 52%
= 52 x 4
= 208
Answer(s): 208
