A gumball machine contains red, orange, yellow, green, and blue gumballs. Twenty percent of the gumballs are red, 30% are orange, 5% are yellow, 10% are green, and the rest are blue. If there are a total of 120 gumballs, how many more blue gumballs are there than yellow gumballs?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: First, calculate the number of gumballs of each color: Red = 0.20 x 120 = 24 gumballs, Orange = 0.30 x 120 = 36 gumballs, Yellow = 0.05 x 120 = 6 gumballs, Green = 0.10 x 120 = 12 gumballs. The total number of gumballs of the mentioned colors is 24 + 36 + 6 + 12 = 78 gumballs. Therefore, the number of blue gumballs is 120 - 78 = 42 gumballs. To find the difference between the number of blue and yellow gumballs, subtract the number of yellow gumballs from the number of blue gumballs: 42 - 6 = 36. Therefore, there are 36 more blue gumballs than yellow gumballs.
