Answer:

24

Explanation:

Given

Total = 200

From the attachment, we have:

$Black = 35\%$

$Blue = 23\%$

Required

How many more of black than blue were sold

First, calculate the difference in percentage sold

$d = 35\% - 23\%$

$d = 12\%$

Multiply by the total phones sold;

$d * 200 = 12\% * 200$

d * 200 = 24

Hence, 24 more blacks were sold than blue
