1. Find the difference in the number of green pens between Box Y and Box X.

Since Box Y has 9090 more pens in total than Box X, and 3030 more red pens than Box X, the number of extra green pens in Box Y compared to Box X is:
90−30=6090 - 30 = 60

2. Calculate how many more green pens than red pens there are in Box Y.

In Box X, there are 2525 more green pens than red pens.
In Box Y, the number of green pens increased by 6060 (relative to Box X) and the number of red pens increased by 3030 (relative to Box X).
The new difference between green and red pens in Box Y is:
25+60−30=5525 + 60 - 30 = 55
