Answer:

Total number of skittles in bag are 40

There are 10 orange skittles.

There are are 9 green skittles.

Explanation:

Suppose there are "x" number of skittles in the bag.

Given that 2/5 of x = 16

Solving above equations gives , x = 40

That means total numbers of skittles are 40.

2/5 of 40 = 16 red skittles.

25 % of 40 = 10 orange skittles

1/8 of 40 = 5 yellow skittles

40-16-10-5 = 9 green skittles.
