Answer 2

Answer :-

• x got 20 toffees and y got 30 toffees.

Given :-

• Number of toffees = 50.
• It has to be divided between x and y.
• Ratio = 2 : 3.

To find :-

• The share of x and y.

Step-by-step explanation :-

There are 50 toffees in total.

We have to divide them between x and y in the ratio 2 : 3.

Sum of the ratio terms = 2 + 3 = 5.

Now, out of 5 parts, x got 2 parts and y got 3 parts.

Therefore, we get :-

Share of x -:

$\sf \dfrac{2}{5} \times 50$

Reducing the numbers, we get :-

$\sf \dfrac{2}{1} \times 10$

Now let's multiply the remaining numbers.

$\sf 2 \times 10$

Multiplying them, we get :-

$\sf 20 \: toffees.$

So, x got 20 toffees.

Share of y :-

$\sf \dfrac{3}{5} \times 50$

Reducing the numbers, we get :-

$\sf \dfrac{3}{1} \times 10$

Now let's multiply the remaining numbers.

$\sf 3 \times 10$

Multiplying them, we get :-

$\sf 30 \: toffees.$

Therefore, y got 30 toffees.

Hence, x got 20 toffees and y got 30 toffees.
