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? In this activity, you’ll work through this pom-pom problem step by step.

Part E
Now solve for w, b, and r for a pair of pom-poms using the total number of strands you found in part D. Solve three proportions similar to the work you did in Part B. Show your calculations.

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

Percentage is defined as ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

Given that, total Strands = 80

∵white strands = 35%

w = 35%×80 =

w= 35/100×80

w = 28

∵blue strands = 25%

b = 25%× 80

b = 25/100× 80

b = 20

∵red strands = 40%

r = 40%× 80

r = 40/100× 80

r = 32

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