Answer:

10 red and 15 blue

Step-by-step explanation:

out of 30 sweets with thabo is 18 are red and 12 are blue

ratio of red to blue is 18:12=3:2

there are 20 sweets with pule

let number of red sweets be 3x

number of blue sweets be 2x

$3x + 2x = 20 \\ 5x = 20 \\ x = 4 \\ number \: of \: red \: sweets = 3x = 12 \\ number \: of \: blue \: sweets = 2x = 8$
