1. There are a total of 230 mint and chocolate sweets in a jar. 60% of the total number of sweets were mint sweets. After more chocolate sweets were added into the jar, the percentage of the mint sweets in the jar decreased to 40% How many chocolate sweets were added into the jar? 2. In August, 36% of the people who visited the zoo were locals and the rest were foreigners. In September, the percentage of local visitors decreased by 25% while the percentage of foreign participants increased by 50%. In the end, there were 161 fewer visitors in August than in September. How many visitors were there in September?

1. 115 chocolates were added

2. 861 visitors in September

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Initially:

m=number of mints

60% of 230 sweets were mints  =>

m = 230*0.6 = 138 mints

initial number of chocolates, c1  =  230 - 138 = 92

Now chocolates were added

138 mints represented 40% of the total number of sweets, so

total number of sweets  = 138 / 0.4 = 345

Number of chocolates added = 345 - 230 = 115

2.

In August 36% were locals, 64% were from elsewhere.

In suptember,

locals decreassed by 25% to 36*0.75=27% (of August total)

foreigner increased by 50% to 64*1.5=96% (of August total)

Total Inrease = 96+27-100 = 23% of August total  = 161 visitors

August total = 161/0.23 = 700 visitors

September total = 700 + 161 = 861 visitors
