Answer:
28 white strands , 20 blue strands and 32 red strands are needed to make a pair of pom-poms
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 = 
Blue Strands = 25%
No. of blue strands = 
Red Strands = 40%
No. of Red strands = 
Hence 28 white strands , 20 blue strands and 32 red strands are needed to make a pair of pom-poms
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Make 2 equations from the question first
x is the number of pints for type 1
y is the number of pints for type 2
The equation
x + y = 120
60% x + 85% y = 65% (x + y)
Solve the equation
From the 2nd equation
0.6x + 0.85y = 0.65(x + y)
0.6x + 0.85y = 0.65x + 0.65y
0.85y - 0.65y = 0.65x - 0.6x
0.2y = 0.05x
y = 4x
From the 1st equation
x + y = 120
x + 4x = 120
5x = 120
x = 24
y = 4x
y = 96
The first type should be 24 pints, the second type should be 96 pints
