Angad, Caroline and Sarah share some sweets in the ratio 5:3:2. Angad gets 30 more sweets than Sarah. How many sweets are there altogether

Answer 1

A = 30 + S

For every 5 A gets, C gets 3 and S gets 2

If S gets 2, A gets 2.5S = 2(2.5)=5

A=2.5S

30 + S = 2.5S

30 = 1.5 S

S = 30/1.5 = 20

A = 2.5S = 2.5(20)= 50

C = 30

A:C:S = 5:3:2 = 50:30:20

Total: 50+30+20 = 100
