Angad, Caroline and Sarah share some sweets in the ratio 7:4:3. Angad gets 52 more sweets than Sarah. How many sweets does Caroline get?

Respuesta :

Answer:

52 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so first you assign variables to each person, but in this case we can just use 1 variable: x.

Angad: 7x

Caroline: 4x

Sarah: 3x

So then you see that Angad gets 52 more than Sarah: 7x-3x = 52

Simplify to get 4x = 52. Divide by 4 to then get x = 13.

Substitute x back in to get Caroline's number: 4 * 13 = 52 sweets (coincidentally the same number more that Angad gets than Sarah).
