Question

Krutika, David and Mark share some sweets in the ratio 7:2:2. Krutika gets 45 more sweets than Mark. How many sweets are there altogether?

Answer 1

Answer:

99

Explanation:

Let the ratio be 7x : 2x : 2x.

Total sweets = 7x + 2x + 2x = 11x

According to Question,

7x = 2x + 45

=> 7x - 2x = 45

=> 5x = 45

=> x = 9

Hence, total number of sweets = 11 x 9 = 99
