To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You can make the following expression, where
O is the orange picks and
G is the green picks:


O+G=25

2. You have that there are 3 orange picks gor every 2 green, therefore:


[tex](3)/(2) =(O)/(G)\\ G=(2)/(3)O[/tex]

3. Substitute
G into the first equation and solve for
O:


O+(2)/(3)O=25\\ (5)/(8)O=25\\ O=15

The answer is: There are 15 orange.
