40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation: first make the ratio into a fraction, 2/3

then make 24 into a fraction with the numerator as a variable and the denominator as 24, x/24

then cross multiply 2 and 24.

2x24=48

then divide 48 by 3, 16.

last add the number of lollipops to 16 and the answer is 40.
