Answer 2

18 Caramel Centers

Explanation:

Solution

So first off, we can group 2 and 3 toghether to make one "packet" with 5 candies in it. Now, we can divide 5 by 30 and get 6. Now we know how many packets/candies there are. After that, we can multiply 6 with 3 to get 18 caramel centers.

Verification:

2 x 6 = 12

3 x 6 = 18

12 + 18 = 30 ✅
