Answer:

Option C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the information that

There are 120 pieces of taffy candy

And 84 pieces of cherry licorice

Since, Melanie has to make bags for halloween in such a manner that all the candies are equally distributed.

Case1:

If 10 bags were made it can contain 12 taffy candies but can not contain 8 cherry licorice

because 10 x 8= 80 but 84 should be equally distributed.

Hence, incorrect.

Case2:

If 10 bags were made it should not contain 7 taffy candies because

10 x 7=70 but we have 120 taffy candies which has to be equally distributed

And 12 cherry licorice not possible because we have only 84 candy licorice.

Hence, incorrect

Case3:

If 12 bags were made it should contain 10 taffy candies and 7 cherry licorice  so, as to distributed equally

Hence, correct.

Case4:

if 12 bags were made it should not contain 7 taffy candies because we have more than 70 taffy candies

And 10 cherry licorice will not be possible since, we have only 84 cherry licorice.

Hence, incorrect
