Answer 1

Sally's team found 50 balls

Explanation:

300 balls are hidden.

300x30%x40%

=36 balls are yellow

Sally's team finds 20% of 36 and 80% of the white balls (300x30%-36).

20%x36+80%x(300x30%-36)

=7 (approximately or else they would've found 7.2 yellow balls) +80%x(90-36)

=7+43 (approximately)

=50
