Question

(ANSWER QUICK PLEASE) 1. Kasey noticed that the distribution of candy bars in the variety bags of candy bars is always the same. There are three times as many Twix Bars as Milky Ways. There are 5 fewer snickers than there are Twix.

Answer 1

Let's call the number of Twix bars "x".

Since there are three times as many Twix bars as Milky Ways, the number of Milky Ways is x / 3.

And, since there are 5 fewer Snickers bars than there are Twix bars, the number of Snickers bars is x - 5.

So, the total number of candy bars can be found by adding the number of each type of candy bar:

x + x / 3 + x - 5 = total number of candy bars

Combining like terms, we get:

5x / 3 - 5 = total number of candy bars

To find the value of x, we can solve this equation for x.

5x / 3 = total number of candy bars + 5

5x / 3 = total number of candy bars + 5

5x = 3(total number of candy bars + 5)

5x = 3(total number of candy bars) + 15

5x = 3(total number of candy bars) + 15

5x - 15 = 3(total number of candy bars)

5x - 15 = 3(total number of candy bars)

(5x - 15) / 3 = total number of candy bars

So, the total number of candy bars can be found by dividing (5x - 15) by 3. The value of x represents the number of Twix bars, and the rest of the candy bars can be found using the relationships described in the problem.

Answer 2

Small Twix : 24 ( 8*3)
Small Snickers :19 (24-5)

Medium Milky Way : 10 (30/3)
Medium snickers : 25. (30-5)

Large Twix: 42 (37+5)
Large Milky Way 14 (42/3)


Hope this helps!
