Answer:
Let's use "g" to represent the number of green lollies in the jar.
According to the problem, there are 6 more orange lollies than green ones, so the number of orange lollies is "g + 6".
We also know that there is only one red lolly.
The total number of lollies in the jar is 47, so:
g + (g + 6) + 1 = 47
Simplifying the equation:
2g + 7 = 47
Subtracting 7 from both sides:
2g = 40
Dividing by 2:
g = 20
So there are 20 green lollies in the jar.
And since there are 6 more orange lollies than green ones, there must be:
g + 6 = 20 + 6 = 26 orange lollies in the jar.
