Step-by-step explanation:

Given :A pom-pom manufacturer makes each of its pom-poms with 35% white strands (w), 25% blue strands (b), and 40% red strands (r).

To Find : If each pom-pom has a total of 80 strands, how many of strands of each color are needed to make a pair of pom-poms?

Solution:

Total Strands = 80

White Strands = 35%

No. of white strands = $35\% \times 80 =\frac{35}{100} \times 80 =28$

Blue Strands = 25%

No. of blue strands = $25\% \times 80 =\frac{25}{100} \times 80 =20$

Red Strands = 40%

No. of Red strands = $40\% \times 80 =\frac{40}{100} \times 80 =32$

Hence 28 white strands , 20 blue strands and 32 red strands are needed to make a pair of pom-poms
