Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 80 biscuits inside the tin.

Also, they said that those biscuits are in the ratio

Short bread    :      Choc - chip

          2          :        3

Altogether there are 5 shares ( 2 + 3)

And now you can divide 80 by 5 to find how many biscuits contain per a share.

80 ÷ 5 = 16

In the question, they asked us to to find the number of short biscuits inside the tin.

Let us find that.

There are 2 shares for short bread biscuits.

So,

Number of short biscuits ⇒ 2 × 16

                                         ⇒ 32

Hope this helps you :-)

Harrizon [31]

$48,000 a year is $1,846.15 biweekly before taxes and approximately $1,384.62 after taxes. Paying a tax rate of around 25% and working full-time at 40 hours a week, you would earn $1,384.62 after taxes. To calculate how much you make biweekly before taxes, you would multiply $23.08 by 40 hours and 2 weeks
