In a container, there are lollipops of 3 colours, pink, yellow and brown. There are 36 more yellow lollipops than brown lollipops. The number of brown lollipops is ²₃ more than the pink lollipops. Given that the number of brown lollipops is 35% of the total number of lollipops in the container, how many more yellow lollipops are there than pink lollipops?

Pink lollipops	Yellow lollipops	Brown lollipops
	1 u + 36	1 u
3x7		5x7
65%		35%
21%	44%	35%

1 + ²₃ = ³₃ + ²₃ = ⁵₃

Yellow lollipops : Purple lollipops = 3 : 5

The number of brown lollipops is repeated.  Make the number of brown lollipops the same.

5 x 7 = 35%

Total number of pink lollipops and yellow lollipops in percent
= 100% - 35%
= 65%

Number of yellow lollipops in percent
= 65% - 21%
= 44%

Number of more yellow lollipops than brown lollipops in percent
= 44% - 21%
= 9%

9% = 36

1% = 36 ÷ 9 = 4

Number of more yellow lollipops than pink lollipops
= 44% - 21%
= 23%
= 23 x 4
= 92

Answer(s): 92
