Answer:

151515 not found

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 555 nuts found, 333 are not. This gives a total of 888.

555 + 333 = 888

Divide the total number of nuts by this number.

404040/888 = 455

Multiply the number that get found and the number that don't by the number calculated above.

555 × 455 = 252525

333 × 455 = 151515

252525 nuts will be found and 151515 will not.
