In a container, there are lollipops of 3 colours, gold, white and brown. There are 105 more white lollipops than brown lollipops. The number of brown lollipops is ²₃ more than the gold lollipops. Given that the number of brown lollipops is 25% of the total number of lollipops in the container, how many more white lollipops are there than gold lollipops?

Gold lollipops	White lollipops	Brown lollipops
	1 u + 105	1 u
3x5		5x5
75%		25%
15%	60%	25%

1 + ²₃ = ³₃ + ²₃ = ⁵₃

Yellow lollipops : Purple lollipops = 3 : 5

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

5 x 5 = 25%

Total number of gold lollipops and white lollipops in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%

Number of white lollipops in percent
= 75% - 15%
= 60%

Number of more white lollipops than brown lollipops in percent
= 60% - 15%
= 35%

35% = 105

1% = 105 ÷ 35 = 3

Number of more white lollipops than gold lollipops
= 60% - 15%
= 45%
= 45 x 3
= 135

Answer(s): 135
