Question

A box of candies contains caramel chocolates and chocolates with nuts. There are 3 times more caramel chocolates as there are chocolates with nuts. If there are 20 chocolates total, how many are there of each type?

Answer 1

Let chocolates with nuts be x

Thus, caramel chocolates would be 3x

Given total chocolates = 20

x + 3x = 20

4x = 20

x = 5

Thus, there are 5 chocolates with nuts

Caramel chocolates = 3 x 5 = 15
