Question

Adrian, Ben and Charlie share some sweets in the ratio 6:3:8

Charlie got 22 more sweets than Adrian.Work out the total amount of sweets.

Answer 1

187 sweets

Explanation:

8 units - 6 units = 2 units

2 units = 22 sweets

1 unit = 22 sweets ÷ 2

= 11 sweets

Total amount of sweets = 11 sweets × (6 units + 3 units + 8 units) = 11 sweets × 17 = 187 sweets
