Answer:
Total number of jolly ranchers= 140
Total number of candy bars= 60
Now , we have to place jolly and candy into gift bags such that no pieces of candy should left.
1. Find the ratio of jolly ranchers and candy bars
= 140/60
= 7/3
So, possible combination are (7,3),(14,6),(28,12),(35,15),(70,30).
1.So,in combination (7,3), number of bags=[tex]\frac{Total candy}{(7+3)}[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{200}{10}[/tex]
=20
2. Number of Bags(14,6)=200÷20=10
3.Number of Bags(28,12)=200÷40=5
4.Number of Bags(35,15)= 200÷50=4
5.Number of Bags(70,30)=200÷100=2
Combination (1) in which there are 7 Jolly ranchers and 3 candy bars has the most amount of bags which is 20.
