Question

a box of chocolates includes 3 different types of chocolate. it contains twice as many caramels as strawberry creams. it also includes 50% more milk chocolate pennies than caramels. the net weight of the box is 1.5kg. what proportion of the box is made up of strawberry creams.

Answer 1

X= Strawberry Creams

2x= Carmel

3x= Pennies —> 50% of 2 is 1... so 2+1=3 3x+2x+x=1.5kg

6x=1.5kg 6/6(x) = 1.5/6 kg

X=0.25 or 1/4

So the Stawberry Creams are 1/4. Or 0.25 kg of 1.5kg.
