The number of grey lollipops is repeated. Make the number of grey lollipops the same.
5 x 5 = 25%
Total number of silver lollipops and blue lollipops in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Number of blue lollipops in percent
= 75% - 15%
= 60%
Number of more blue lollipops than grey lollipops in percent
= 60% - 15%
= 35%
35% = 105
1% = 105 ÷ 35 = 3
Number of more blue lollipops than silver lollipops
= 60% - 15%
= 45%
= 45 x 3
= 135
Answer(s): 135
