Question

Tim has a bag containing only red, yellow and green jelly beans.

- the number of red jellybeans is 25
- the number of yellow jelly beans is a third of red jelly beans
- a half of his jelly beans are green.
How many of Tim's jellybeans are green?​

Answer 1

green=100 jellybeans

Explanation:

let the bag be (B)

red jellybeans (R)

yellow jellybeans (Y)

green jellybeans (G)

R=25

Y=3R............(1)

½ of B=G ..........(2)

from equation (1)

Y=3(25)

Y=75

since 1/2 0f the bag are G that means R+Y is equal to the remaining bag

R+Y=75+25=100 which is half of the bag

G that's half of the bag =100
