Question

3. Connie bought several types of candy for Halloween: Milky Ways, Tootsie Rolls,

Answer 1

Answer:

Tootsie Rolls = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Milky Ways and Tootsie Rolls together were 15 more than the number of Reese's Cups.

There were 4 fewer Reese's Cups than Hershey Bars.

There were 12 Milky Ways and 14 Hershey Bars.

Solution

Milky Ways and Tootsie Rolls = Reese's Cups + 15

There were 4 fewer Reese's Cups than Hershey Bars.

Hershey Bars = 14

Then,

Reese's Cups = 14 - 4

= 10

Milky ways = 12

Hershey bars = 14

Reese's Cups = 10

Milky ways = 12

Milky Ways + Tootsie Rolls = Reese's Cups + 15

12 + Tootsie Rolls = 10 + 15

12 + Tootsie Rolls = 25

Subtract 12 from both sides

Tootsie Rolls = 25 - 12

= 13

Tootsie Rolls = 13
