Question

A box contains some lollipops and chocolates. They are in the ratio of 7 : 9. If the total number of items is 480, find the number of each variety.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the ratio be 7x and 9x respectively

Total varieties = 480 (given)

According to question,

7x + 9x = 480

16x = 480

x = 480/16

x = 30

Putting value of x

7x = 7*30 = 210 lollipops

9x = 9*30 = 270 chocolates

This is the required answer

Hope it helps
