Answer:

the data set seems wrong, since for every 4twix bars, she had 2 pieces of jolly ranchers; so ratio 4 twix bars : 2 ranchers is to be use but it wouldn't work, it can only work for the first 30 candies ( 20twix bars and 10 ranchers) so the last 2 candies( if following the ratio will be 4/3 for the twix bars and 2/3 for the ranchers)
