(A) 15
(B) 25

Red = 25
Blue = 75.

Size A = 50
Size B =50

Red & Size A = 10.

Therefore, Red & Size B = 25- 10 =15.

Total Size B = Red Size B + Blue Size B

50 = 15 + Blue Size B

Blue Size B = 35

For questions where there is a population, where each member of the population has two characteristics associated with it, we can use the Double Matrix Method to solve the question.

Here, we have a population of toys and the 2 characteristics are:
1) color (blue or red)
2) size (size A or size B)

More information on the Double Matrix Method can be found in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWD2t5jCCZQ

I ended up using the method put forward by Brent. I find it really quick and easy since I am not a formula whiz. Here is the logic I used to get the numbers in the attached table. The red numbers are given to us in the question. The numbers that are along the very bottom and the side are given by multiplying 100 with the given fractions. The rest fills out itself.

I don't know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. That's football guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?
