Question

Caroline, Krutika and Natasha share some sweets in the ratio 4:5:1. Caroline gets 42 more sweets than Natasha. How many sweets are there altogether?

Answer 1

Answer:

So, the ratio of Sarah to Richard is 4:3. Sarah has one more part of the total than Richard, and those 13 sweets are that one part.

There are 4 + 2 + 3 = 9 parts altogether.

9(13) = 117 total sweets.

Not that it asks, but Sarah has 4(13) = 52, Natasha has half that, 2(13) = 26, and Richard has 3(13) = 39.
