Answer:
- w = 6j + 450
- 129 Jolly Ranchers
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Total weight comprises of the weight of jar plus weight of Jolly Ranchers
- w = 6j + 450 is the required equation
b) When the candy jar is full, it weighs 1224 grams. How many Jolly Ranchers can the jar hold?
<u>Given w = 1224, then to find j we solve the equation:</u>
- 1224 = 6j + 450
- 6j = 1224 - 450
- 6j = 774
- j = 774/6
- j = 129
The jar can hold 129 Jolly Ranchers
