The Ratio of reds to greens was 4 to 11 and 60 percent of the greens exceeded the number of reds by 52. How many were red and how many were green?
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.
