Problem
A jar contains 
different colors of gumdrops. $30%$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) are blue, $20%$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) are brown, $15%$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) are red, $10%$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) are yellow, and other 
gumdrops are green. If half of the blue gumdrops are replaced with brown gumdrops, how gumdrops will be brown?
Solution
We do 
to find the percent of gumdrops that are green. We find that $25%$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) of the gumdrops are green. That means there are 
gumdrops. If we replace all blue gumdrops with green gumdrops, then $35%$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) of the jar's gumdrops are brown.
