During a telematch, each group of students was supposed to collect as many coloured beads as possible. Each colour represented a certain point as tabulated:

Colours	Points
Blue	2
Silver	5
Pink	8

In each container, the number of blue beads was 80% more than the number of pink beads and 70% less than the number of silver beads. Given that the total possible points if the group managed to collect all the beads were 1456 points, how many beads were not blue in colour?

Blue	Silver	Pink
9x1		5x1
3x3	10x3
9 u	30 u	5 u

	Blue	Silver	Pink	Total
Number	9 u	30 u	5u
Value	2	5	8
Total value	18 u	150 u	40 u	208 u

100% + 80% = 180%
180% = ¹⁸⁰₁₀₀ =⁹₅

100% - 70% = 30%
30% = ³⁰₁₀₀ = ³₁₀

Total number of points collected
= 18 u + 150 u + 40 u
= 208 u

208 u = 1456

1 u = 1456 ÷ 208 = 7

Number of beads not blue in colour
= 30 u + 5 u
= 35 u
= 35 x 7
= 245

Answer: 245
