In a box, there are jelly beans of 3 colours, silver, gold and green. There are 152 more gold jelly beans than green jelly beans. The number of green jelly beans is ¹₂ more than the silver jelly beans. Given that the number of green jelly beans is 9% of the total number of jelly beans in the box, how many more gold jelly beans are there than silver jelly beans?

Silver jelly beans	Gold jelly beans	Green jelly beans
	1 u + 152	1 u
2x3		3x3
91%		9%
6%	85%	9%

1 + ¹₂ = ²₂ + ¹₂ = ³₂

Yellow jelly beans : Purple jelly beans = 2 : 3

The number of green jelly beans is repeated.  Make the number of green jelly beans the same.

3 x 3 = 9%

Total number of silver jelly beans and gold jelly beans in percent
= 100% - 9%
= 91%

Number of gold jelly beans in percent
= 91% - 6%
= 85%

Number of more gold jelly beans than green jelly beans in percent
= 85% - 6%
= 76%

76% = 152

1% = 152 ÷ 76 = 2

Number of more gold jelly beans than silver jelly beans
= 85% - 6%
= 79%
= 79 x 2
= 158

Answer(s): 158
