If the other sweets are chocolates then 4 in every 5 sweets are chocolates so 4/5
<span>So we wan't to get the value of x in the equation x/35=7. To get x we need to multiply both sides of the equation with 35 and then we get: x=7*35. So after multiplying we get x= 245. To check the solution lets divide 245/7=35. So the correct answer is b. 245.</span>

Answer: $628 </h3>
==========================================================
Work Shown:
x = Ali's share
4x = Pip's share, because it is four times bigger due to the ratio 4:1
x+4x = 5x = total amount of money = 785
5x = 785
x = 785/5
x = 157 dollars is Ali's share
4x = 4*157 = 628 dollars is Pip's share
Note that 157+628 = 785 to help confirm the answer.
Let the number of bags that he would have been used to put 3 kg of apples be x. Thus the number of bags that would be used to put 2kgs will therefore be (x+9), hence the total number of kgs the bags will hold will be given by:
3*x=3x kgs
2(x+9)=(2x+18) kgs
since the total weights are the same then:
2x+18=3x
hence
18=3x-2x
18=x
thus the number of bags required to put 3 kgs of apples will be 18. Thus the total Kgs of apples was:
3x
=3*18
=54 kgs
