The number of black chocolate bars is repeated. Make the number of black chocolate bars the same.
5 x 3 = 15%
Total number of gold chocolate bars and silver chocolate bars in percent
= 100% - 15%
= 85%
Number of silver chocolate bars in percent
= 85% - 9%
= 76%
Number of more silver chocolate bars than black chocolate bars in percent
= 76% - 9%
= 61%
61% = 122
1% = 122 ÷ 61 = 2
Number of more silver chocolate bars than gold chocolate bars
= 76% - 9%
= 67%
= 67 x 2
= 134
Answer(s): 134
