let the total number of buttons be x
the number of Green buttons in the box = (3/8 of x)
the number of blue buttons in the box = (3/8 of x + 20) buttons
the number of pink buttons in the box = 84 buttons
A/Q,
3x/8 + 3x/8 + 20 + 84 = x
6x/8 + 104 = x
104 = x - 6x/8
104 = 2x/8
104 * 8/2 = x
x = 416
So, the number of blue buttons in the box is 416 buttons.
