The number of white chocolate bars is repeated. Make the number of white chocolate bars the same.
5 x 4 = 20%
Total number of green chocolate bars and red chocolate bars in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
Number of red chocolate bars in percent
= 80% - 12%
= 68%
Number of more red chocolate bars than white chocolate bars in percent
= 68% - 12%
= 48%
48% = 384
1% = 384 ÷ 48 = 8
Number of more red chocolate bars than green chocolate bars
= 68% - 12%
= 56%
= 56 x 8
= 448
Answer(s): 448
