​

Answer 1

Answer:

28 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of mints: 21

Fraction of the sweets which are toffees: $\frac{1}{4}$

Fraction of the sweets which are mints: $\frac{3}{4}$

Assuming that there are x number of sweets in the bag:

$\frac{3}{4}$ of x is 21

21 = $\frac{3x}{4}$

21 * 4 = 3x

$\frac{84}{3}$ = x

28 = x

Therefore, there are a total of 28 sweets in the bag.
