Question

Jo and dan share sweets in the ratio 10: 4 . Jo has 18 more sweets than dan . How many sweets does dan have?

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sweets Jo and Dan have be 10x and 4x respectively,

Jo has 18 sweets more than Dan, which gives us the equation

10x = 4x + 18

10x - 4x = 18

6x = 18

x = 18/6 = 3

Dan has 4x sweets = 4*3 = 12
