A bin has 382 red, yellow, blue and green balls. It has three times as many red balls as yellow balls, 52 more blue balls than yellow balls, and 30 fewer green balls than red balls. How many green balls does it have?

Respuesta :

The bin containing 382 red, yellow, blue and green balls have a total of 32 green balls.

Let x represent the number of red balls, y represent the number of yellow balls and z represent the number of green balls.

Since ther is a total of 382 balls, hence:

x + y + z = 382   (1)

There is three times as many red balls as yellow balls:

y = 3x

3x - y = 0    (2)

52 more blue balls than yellow balls, hence:

z = y + 52

- y - z = -52    (3)

Solving equations 1,  2 and 3 gives x = 62, y = 186, z = 134

Hence there are 62 red balls, 186 yellow balls and 134 blue balls

Green balls = 62 - 30 = 32 balls
