Answer 1

The total number of pieces of candy is 234.

The number of bags are 9

The number of candy in each bag can be determined as,

`\begin{gathered} n=(234)/(9) \\ =26 \end{gathered}`

The total pieces of candy in 5 bags can be determined as,

`\begin{gathered} N=n*5 \\ =26*5 \\ =130 \end{gathered}`

Thus, option (b) is the correct answer.
