In a container, there are sweets of 3 colours, silver, pink and yellow. There are 245 more pink sweets than yellow sweets. The number of yellow sweets is ²₃ more than the silver sweets. Given that the number of yellow sweets is 25% of the total number of sweets in the container, how many more pink sweets are there than silver sweets?

Silver sweets	Pink sweets	Yellow sweets
	1 u + 245	1 u
3x5		5x5
75%		25%
15%	60%	25%

1 + ²₃ = ³₃ + ²₃ = ⁵₃

Yellow sweets : Purple sweets = 3 : 5

The number of yellow sweets is repeated.  Make the number of yellow sweets the same.

5 x 5 = 25%

Total number of silver sweets and pink sweets in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%

Number of pink sweets in percent
= 75% - 15%
= 60%

Number of more pink sweets than yellow sweets in percent
= 60% - 15%
= 35%

35% = 245

1% = 245 ÷ 35 = 7

Number of more pink sweets than silver sweets
= 60% - 15%
= 45%
= 45 x 7
= 315

Answer(s): 315
