The ratio of reds to greens was 4 to 11 and 60 percent of the greens exceeded the number of reds by 52. How many were red and how many were green?

Question

Idk how to do this. Plz help!!!!

 

Answer 1

r/g = 4/11

60% of greens exceeded reds by 52

.6g = r+52

r = .6g-52

(.6g-52)/g = 4/11

cross multiply

6.6g -572 =4g

2.6g =572

g = 572/2.6 = 220 greens

r = .6g-52 = .6(220) -52= 80 reds
