Question

For a treasure hunt game. 300 balls are hidden, 40% of them are yellow and the rest are white. sally's team finds 20% of the yellows balls and 80% of the white balls. how many balls did sally's team find

Answer 1

24 yellow balls and 144 white balls are found

Answer 2

168 balls because 40% of 300 is 120 which is the number of white balls so there would be 180 white balls and 20% is 120 is 24 when you multiply 20×120 and divide it by 100 and 80% of 180 is 144 white balls when you multiply 80×180 then divide by 100 and 144+24=168
