<span>Let x=one number and x+12= the other number.  Together the numbers=54.  Set up the equation:  x+x+12=54;  Combine the variables;  2x+12=54;  Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation;  2x=42; Divide both sides of the equation by 2;  x=21 is one number and 21+12=33 is the other number.  Check:  2(21) +12=54;  42+12=54;  54=54.</span>

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of candies =

10 chocolate candies + 8 coffee candies + 12 caramel candies = 30 candies

Probability of picking a chocolate candy = P(chocolate) = 10/30

Probability of picking a coffee candy = P(chocolate) = 8/30

Hence, the probability of getting candies with P (chocolate or coffee)

= P(chocolate) + P(coffee)

= 10/30 + 8/30

= 18/30

= 3/10

Therefore, the probability of getting candies with P (chocolate or coffee) is 3/10
