Step-by-step explanation:

Let 5x, 3x and x be the shares of David, Malachy and Paul.

According to the given condition:

5x = x + 40

\therefore \: 5x - x = 40 \\ \therefore \:  4x = 40 \\  \therefore \: x = 10 \\  \\ total \: sweets  = 5x + 3x + x  \\ = 9x  \\ = 9 \times 10 \\   = 90

Hence, there are total 90 sweets
