In a bag 60 candies, the ratio of chocolate candies to gummy candies is 3:2. How many gummy candies are there?
- 20
- 30
- 18
- 24
Explanation
Number of chocolate candies : Number of gummy candies = 3 : 2
We know that the total number of candies is 60, so we can set up the equation:
3x + 2x = 60
where x is a multiplier for both parts of the ratio.
Combine like terms:
5x = 60
Divide by 5:
x = 12
Now, multiply x by the ratio terms to find the number of gummy candies:
Number of gummy candies = 2x = 2(12) = 24
So, there are 24 gummy candies!
