Given the statement:
Red and grey bricks were used to build a decorative wall. the number of red bricks over the number of grey bricks was 5.
Determine the number of red bricks used if there were 224 bricks in all.

In order to determine the number of red bricks, we simply subtract the number of grey bricks to 224.
= 224 - 5
= 219
Final answer:
219 red bricks were used in total.
