Answer 2

Katie has $16\frac{1}{2}$ sweets and James has $19\frac{1}{2}$ sweets in bag

Solution:

Let the number of sweets in James bag be "x"

Katie has 3 sweets more in her bag then James

Then,

Katie = 3 + x

They have 36 sweets in altogether

Therefore,

James + Katie = 36

x + 3 + x = 36

3 + 2x = 36

2x = 36 - 3

2x = 33

x = 16.5

Substitute x = 16.5

Katie = 3 + x = 3 + 16.5 = 19.5

Thus, Katie has $16\frac{1}{2}$ sweets and James has $19\frac{1}{2}$ sweets in bag
