Answer:
There are 56 red gummy bears
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of green to red gummy bears is = 3 : 7
Total gummy bears = 80
We need to find how many gummy bears are red?
We can write it as:
3x : 7x
where x is the common ratio.
We can write:
Quantity of Green gummy bears = 3x
Quantity of Red gummy bears = 7x
Total Gummy bears = 80
So, 3x+7x = 80
10x = 80
x = 8
Now, finding quantity of Red gummy bears by putting x = 8
7x = 7(8) = 56
So, There are 56 red gummy bears
