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

Colours	Points
Pink	2
White	4
Purple	6

In each container, the number of pink marbles was 60% more than the number of purple marbles and 70% less than the number of white marbles. Given that the total possible points if the group managed to collect all the marbles were 3206 points, how many marbles were not pink in colour?

Pink	White	Purple
8x3		5x3
3x8	10x8
24 u	80 u	15 u

	Pink	White	Purple	Total
Number	24 u	80 u	15u
Value	2	4	6
Total value	48 u	320 u	90 u	458 u

100% + 60% = 160%
160% = ¹⁶⁰₁₀₀ =⁸₅

100% - 70% = 30%
30% = ³⁰₁₀₀ = ³₁₀

Total number of points collected
= 48 u + 320 u + 90 u
= 458 u

458 u = 3206

1 u = 3206 ÷ 458 = 7

Number of marbles not white in colour
= 24 u + 15 u
= 39 u
= 39 x 7
= 273

Answer: 273
