Week 375 (13th December 2024)

Rebecca is decorating the office for Christmas and is sorting out the decorations.   

There are 200 baubles in a box.  

38 baubles are blue.   

52 baubles are red.   

The rest of the baubles are silver or gold.   

There are the same number of silver baubles as gold baubles.   

What percentage of the baubles in the box are silver? 

Answer: 

38 + 52 = 90  

200 – 90 = 110   

110/2 = 55 = number of silver baubles 

55/200 = 27.5%
