Answer:

Explanation:

Let r represent red token,

Let o represent orange token,

Let y represent yellow token

Let g represent green token,

A red token is worth twice as much as an orange token. It means that

r = 2o

An orange token is worth 5 less a yellow token. It means that

o = y - 5

A yellow token is worth 15 less than a green token. It means that

y = g - 15

A green token is worth half as much as a blue token. It means that

g = b/2

a blue token is worth B. Therefore, the worth of a yellow token in terms of B would be

Substituting g = B/2 into y = g - 5, it becomes

y = B/2 - 15
