Question

Choosy Chocolates sold chewy squares and chocolate stars at a ratio of 3 to 8. 45 more chocolate stars were sold than chewy squares. How many chocolate stars and chewy squares were so,d in all?

Answer 1

So 45 more chocolate stars were sold compared to chewy squares, which makes it a ratio of 3:8, hence we can assume that (45÷5=9) is the amount sold for each ratio.

If you multiply 9 by (3+8=11), you will get 99.
