A pom-pom manufacturer makes each of its pom-poms with 35% white strands (w), 25% blue strands (b), and 40% red strands (r). 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.

    w: 56

    b: 40

    r: 64

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A pair of pom-poms need: 80 * 2 = 160 (strands)

    To make a pair of pom-poms:

    w: 160 * 35% = 56 (strands)

    b: 160 * 25% = 40 (strands)

    r: 160 * 40% = 64 (strands)
