Question

Dana needs 300 pickets for her colorful picket fence. She wants equal amounts of each of her four selected colors. She already has thirty-two red, twenty-six green, nine yellow, and no blue. How many more of each color does Dana need to buy

Answer 1

Answer:

Red = 43 more picket

Green = 49 more picket

Yellow = 66 more picket

Blue = 75 more picket

Step-by-step explanation:

Red = 32

Green = 26

Yellow = 9

Blue = 0

Total picket Dana needs = 300

She wants equal amounts of each of her four selected colors.

Each color = 300/4

= 75 picket per color

How many more of each color does Dana need to buy?

Red = 32

= 75 - 32

= 43 more

Green = 26

= 75 - 26

= 49 more

Yellow = 9

= 75 - 9

= 66 more

Blue = 0

= 75 - 0

= 75 more

Red = 43 more picket

Green = 49 more picket

Yellow = 66 more picket

Blue = 75 more picket
