Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of sweets Brian got be 4x
Therefore number of sweets Pip got will be 5x
Therefore number of sweets Sara got will be x
We know, Brain got 42 more sweets then Sara
Therefore, x + 42 = 4x
42 = 4x - x
42 = 3x
x = 42/3
x = 14
Therefore the number if sweets Pip will be getting
= 5x
= 5 * 14
=70
