Reece’s Math

So I was enjoying some delicious Reece’s Pieces and noticed that while there were three colors (orange, yellow and brown) there seemed to be an awful lot of orange.  That got me thinking: exactly how many more orange are there?

The nutrition facts lists the bag at 13 servings of approximately 50 pieces per serving, which comes out to be 650 pieces total.  Yes I did actually sit down and count out each color, results below.  No I have no life.

Yellow – 140

Brown – 161

Orange – 368

Total – 669

Percentage wise that is:

Yellow – 20.9%

Brown – 24.0%

Orange – 55.0%

It looks like it is supposed to be a 1-1-2 ratio for yellow, brown orange.  Of course there is no way to be sure if that is the true ratio without a statistically meaningful sample size, but I am not going to count another bag.
