Answer:
jim got 65 sweets
Step-by-step explanation:
let bridget, jim and krutika get 4x , 5x , and x number of sweets respectively
Bridget gets 39 more sweets than Krutika, which means
x ( number of sweets krutika got ) + 39 = 4x ( number of sweets bridget got )
=> 4x - x = 39
=> 3x = 39
=> x = 39 / 3
= 13
jim got 5x sweets
= 5 ( 13 )
= 65
so jim got 65 sweets
