Question 20

There were 750 shirts in a box. 20% of them were pink and 18% were green. The
remaining shirts were either yellow or black. If there were 85 more black shirts than
yellow shirts, what was the total number of black and green shirts in the box?

Answer 1

410 Black and Green shirts

Explanation:

150 shirts were pink

135 shirts were green

so knowing this we can set up the equation 2x+85=465

there were 275 black shirts in the box

and 190 yellow shirts

therefore there were 410 Black and Green shirts in the box
