There are 60 skittles in each goodie bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The ratio of m&m's to skittles = 1:3

Total number of candies = 80

Let,

x be the original number to be multiplied with ratio, therefore;

Number of m&m's = 1x

Number of skittles = 3x

$1x+3x=80\\4x=80$

Dividing both sides by 4

$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{80}{4}\\x=20$

Number of skittles = 3x = 3(20) = 60

There are 60 skittles in each goodie bag.
