Expert Solution
Step 1: Number of one headed Purple Jollos

(USE COLUMN 1)

Total number of one headed  = 430 (given)

Green Jollos                           = 170 (given)

Given: For one headed Jollos

Total jollos        = Green Jollos + Purple Jollos

430                   = 170 + Purple Jollos

Purple Jollos    = 430 - 170

Purple Jollos    = 260   (One headed)
