The number of green chocolate bars is repeated. Make the number of green chocolate bars the same.
5 x 3 = 15%
Total number of blue chocolate bars and grey chocolate bars in percent
= 100% - 15%
= 85%
Number of grey chocolate bars in percent
= 85% - 12%
= 73%
Number of more grey chocolate bars than green chocolate bars in percent
= 73% - 12%
= 58%
58% = 116
1% = 116 ÷ 58 = 2
Number of more grey chocolate bars than blue chocolate bars
= 73% - 12%
= 61%
= 61 x 2
= 122
Answer(s): 122
