Question

Tom has some toy cars. 25 of them are red. He has 35 more green cars than red cars. The remaining 15 toy cars are yellow. Tom decides to pack 5 toy cars of the same colour in a box. How many more boxes of red and green toy cars are there than boxes of yellow toy cars?

Answer 1

Explanation:

red = 25

green = 25 + 35 = 60

yellow = 15

red = 25/5 = 5

green = 60/5 = 12

yellow = 15/5 = 3

Red + green = 5 + 12 = 17 boxes

yellow = 3 boxes

17 - 3 = 14 boxes

There are 14 more boxes of red and green cars than yellow cars.
