47,


120/5 is 24, so that is the number of caramel apples covered with peanut. 120/10 is 12 and 12 x 3 is 36, so that is the number of caramel apples covered with coconut. 24 + 36 + 13 = 73, which are all the caramel apples NOT covered with sprinkles. 120 - 73 = 47, the number of caramel apples covered with sprinkles. Hope this Helps.

Answer:

20

Explanation:

120 = (1/5 x 120) + (1/3 x 120) + (3/10 x 120) + sprinkles

120 = 24 + 40 + 36 + sprinkles

Sprinkles = 120 - 24 - 40 - 36 = 20

This means that 20 caramel apples are covered with sprinkles
