Answer 1

25 candy bars

Explanation:

The ratio of candy bar to soda purchases is 1:2 if the snack shop sold sold 50 sodas on sunday

Step 1

We find the total number of snacks sold

Total number of snacks sold =

2/5 × x = 50 sodas

2x = 50 × 5

2x = 250

x = 250/2

x = 125

The number of candy bars that they sold is :

1/5 × 125

= 25
