Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Amirah has 2 bottles of jelly beans.

A and B.

Bottle A has 400 jelly beans

Bottle B has 300 jelly beans

75% of the jelly beans in Bottle A are red while the rest are yellow = 400 × 75 /100 = 300 beans are red, 100 beans are yellow

50% of the jelly beans in Bottle B are red while the rest are yellow.

300 × 50 /100

= 150 are red beans in bottle B and 150 are yellow.

If 300 beans are 80% then 100 % will be =

300 /80 × 100

= 375

To make in Bottle A 80 % red beans so 25 yellow balls to be move to bottle B.

Now in bottle B , 150 + 25 = 175 yellow balls

Solution :-

  • Bottle A :- 400 jelly beans => 75% are red and rest yellow .

so,

→ Red : yellow = 75 : 25 = 3 :1 => 300 and 100 .

and,

  • Bottle B :- 300 jelly beans => 50% are red and rest yellow .

so,

→ Red : yellow = 50 : 50 = 1 :1 => 150 and 150 .

now, given that,

  • 80% in Bottle A are now red.
  • 40% in Bottle B are yellow .

A/q,

→ 80% = 300

→ 1 % = (300/80)

→ 100% = (15/4) * 100 = 15 * 25 = 375 .

therefore,

→ Total yellow beans removed from A = 400 - 375 = 25 beans . (Ans.)
