Example:

A jar contains 240 sweets of orange, lychee and

coffee flavour. There are 90 orange-flavoured
sweets. If a sweet is picked at random from the jar,
the probability of picking a lychee-flavoured sweet is
. How many coffee-flavoured sweets are there?

 A container holds 32 balls. Some are yellow and
some are green. A ball is picked at random from the
container. The probability of picking a yellow ball is
. How many green balls are there in the
container?

When given:
