Answer:
total amount of sweets=230
Step-by-step explanation:
ratio=8:5:10
total ratio=8+5+10
=23
Adrian=x
Charlie= x+20
Ben=1/2×(x+20)
Charlie's share
10/23×(x+20+x+(1/2×x+20))=x+20
10/23×(x+20+x+(x+20/2))=x+20
10/23×(x+20+x+x+20/2)=x+20
10/23×(2(x+20)+(2×x)+(x+20/2)/2=x+20
10/23×(2x+40+2x+x+20)/2=x+20
10/23×(2x+2x+x+40+20)/2=x+20
10/23×(5x+60)/2=x+20
50x+600/46=x+20
50x+600=46(x+20)
50x+600=46x+920
50x-46x=920-600
4x=320
4x/4=320/4
x=80
Total amount of sweet
x+x+20+1/2(x+20)
80+80+20+1/2(80+20)
180+1/2(100)
180+50
230
