Answer:

(x + 60)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 62x + 120

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 120) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 62)

The factors are + 60 and + 2, since

60 × 2 = 120 and 60 + 2 = 62, thus

x² + 62x + 120 = (x + 60)(x + 2)

In this question we are asked to find the ratio of the number of chocolates which Lauren liked and the total of chocolates.

We know she doesn't like coconut and toffee, so she likes caramel, mint and cherry. When we count the ones she liked, we got $16+12+14=42$ .

When we add to find how many chocolates are there, we got $16+10+12+14+8=60$ .

To find the ratio we need to divide the first one and the second one: $\frac{42}{60} = \frac{7}{10} = 0.7$ is our probability.
