In a bag there are blue sweets, red sweets and yellow sweets. The number of blue sweets is four times the number of yellow sweets. The number of red sweets is half the number of yellow sweets. Find the percentage of sweets in the bag that are yellow.

18.18%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of sweets in the bag that are yellow is as follows:

Let us assume the number of yellow sweets be x

So for number of blue sweets be 4x

And, the number of red sweets be 0.5x

So it could be written as

Blue Red Yellow

4        0.5    1

8        1        2

So for yellow, the percentage is

= 2 ÷ (8 + 1 + 2)

= 2 ÷ 11

= 18.18%
