The number of brown lollipops is repeated. Make the number of brown lollipops the same.
6 x 3 = 18%
Total number of gold lollipops and blue lollipops in percent
= 100% - 18%
= 82%
Number of blue lollipops in percent
= 82% - 15%
= 67%
Number of more blue lollipops than brown lollipops in percent
= 67% - 15%
= 49%
49% = 490
1% = 490 ÷ 49 = 10
Number of more blue lollipops than gold lollipops
= 67% - 15%
= 52%
= 52 x 10
= 520
Answer(s): 520
