diabetes

Explanation:

Answer 2

132

Explanation:

let the number of sweets be 'x'

amy has 7x and bob gas 4x

now, the equation can be written as: 7x - 36 = 4x

7x - 36 = 4x

7x - 4x = 36

3x = 36

x = 36/3 = 12

so, no. of sweets amy has = 7x = 7*12 = 84

no. of sweets bob has = 4x = 4*12 = 48

therefore, no. of sweets in total = 84 + 48 = 132
