Answer 2

Answer:

there are 26 orange lollies

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of green lollies be x

No. of green lollies = x

No. of orange lollies = x+6

No. of red lollies = 1

Total no. of lollies = 47

Now,

green lollies + orange lollies + red lollies=total lollies

x + x + 6 + 1 = 47

2x + 7 = 47

2x = 47-7

2x = 40

x = 40/2

x = 20

Therefore, no. of green lollies is 20

So, no of orange lollies is 26
