Question

Jack had a box Good and plenty candy. The ratio of pink to white candy's was 5:7 If Jack buys a bigger bag of candy with the same pink to white ratio and a total of 120 candies, how many candy's are white?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{Ratio of pink to white is 5:7} \\ \text{Total Ratio=5+7=12} \\ \text{Total candies=120} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the number of white candies are:

`\begin{gathered} (7)/(12)*120 \\ 7*10=70\text{ candies} \end{gathered}`

Hence, there are 70 white candies in the bigger bag
