In a container, there are lollipops of 3 colours, yellow, pink and green. There are 480 more pink lollipops than green lollipops. The number of green lollipops is ¹₂ more than the yellow lollipops. Given that the number of green lollipops is 15% of the total number of lollipops in the container, how many more pink lollipops are there than yellow lollipops?

Yellow lollipops	Pink lollipops	Green lollipops
	1 u + 480	1 u
2x5		3x5
85%		15%
10%	75%	15%

1 + ¹₂ = ²₂ + ¹₂ = ³₂

Yellow lollipops : Purple lollipops = 2 : 3

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

3 x 5 = 15%

Total number of yellow lollipops and pink lollipops in percent
= 100% - 15%
= 85%

Number of pink lollipops in percent
= 85% - 10%
= 75%

Number of more pink lollipops than green lollipops in percent
= 75% - 10%
= 60%

60% = 480

1% = 480 ÷ 60 = 8

Number of more pink lollipops than yellow lollipops
= 75% - 10%
= 65%
= 65 x 8
= 520

Answer(s): 520
