In a box, there are lollipops of 3 colours, grey, blue and gold. There are 228 more blue lollipops than gold lollipops. The number of gold lollipops is ¹₂ more than the grey lollipops. Given that the number of gold lollipops is 9% of the total number of lollipops in the box, how many more blue lollipops are there than grey lollipops?

Grey lollipops	Blue lollipops	Gold lollipops
	1 u + 228	1 u
2x3		3x3
91%		9%
6%	85%	9%

1 + ¹₂ = ²₂ + ¹₂ = ³₂

Yellow lollipops : Purple lollipops = 2 : 3

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

3 x 3 = 9%

Total number of grey lollipops and blue lollipops in percent
= 100% - 9%
= 91%

Number of blue lollipops in percent
= 91% - 6%
= 85%

Number of more blue lollipops than gold lollipops in percent
= 85% - 6%
= 76%

76% = 228

1% = 228 ÷ 76 = 3

Number of more blue lollipops than grey lollipops
= 85% - 6%
= 79%
= 79 x 3
= 237

Answer(s): 237
