How many sweets does Nathan gets?

Given that, Nathan shares out 12 sweets, he gives Yasmin 1 sweet for 3 sweets he buys.

Let the sweet be represented by x

For each x sweet for Yasmin, Nathan gets 3x sweets

Hence

x + 3x = 12

We solve for x

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3

Hence;

Yasmin gets x sweet = 3

Nathan gets 3x sweets = 3 × 3 = 9

Given that, Nathan shares out 12 sweets, if he gives Yasmin 1 sweet for 3 sweets he buys, Nathan will get 9 sweets.
