Forty percent of the reds added to 60% of the greens numbered 56. if the ratio of the number of reds to the number of greens was 1 to 4, how many were red and how many were green?

Is this multiple choice??

This hurt my mind for a bit but 
You can form two equations: 
green*0.6 - red = 52 (1) 
green / red = 11/4 (2) 

from (2) red = 4*green/11 and then substitute red into (1) to solve for green. 

you'll get green = 110*52/26 = 220 and use 220/11 to get red =20.

green:220
red:20
hope i helped
