In a container, there are sweets of 3 colours, white, yellow and blue. There are 176 more yellow sweets than blue sweets. The number of blue sweets is ¹₄ more than the white sweets. Given that the number of blue sweets is 20% of the total number of sweets in the container, how many more yellow sweets are there than white sweets?

White sweets	Yellow sweets	Blue sweets
	1 u + 176	1 u
4x4		5x4
80%		20%
16%	64%	20%

1 + ¹₄ = ⁴₄ + ¹₄ = ⁵₄

Yellow sweets : Purple sweets = 4 : 5

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

5 x 4 = 20%

Total number of white sweets and yellow sweets in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%

Number of yellow sweets in percent
= 80% - 16%
= 64%

Number of more yellow sweets than blue sweets in percent
= 64% - 16%
= 44%

44% = 176

1% = 176 ÷ 44 = 4

Number of more yellow sweets than white sweets
= 64% - 16%
= 48%
= 48 x 4
= 192

Answer(s): 192
