Sarah and Henry share some sweets in the ratio 7:6 . Sarah eats 12 of her sweets and the ratio of sweets left becomes 1:2 . How many sweets did Henry have?

Respuesta :

Ratio is 7:6; but we’d don’t know exactly how many each had call the radio 7x:6x

(7x-20) is how many sweets, Sarah has now the ratio is now 1:2

(7x-20)/6x=1/2

Cross multiply

2(7x-20)=1*6x

14x-6x=40

8x=40

x=40/8=5

5*6=30 sweets is how many Henry had
