Question
There are 84 chocolates in a packet. The ratio of dark
chocolates to milk chocolates is 3:2, and the ratio of dark chocolates to white chocolates is 6:5. Find the approximate number of dark chocolates.Solution
Let number of dark chocolates be 3x Milk chocolates = 3x × (2/3) = 2x White chocolates = 3x × (5/6) = 2.5x ATQ: 3x + 2x + 2.5x = 84 Or, 7.5x = 84 So, x = 11.2 Number of dark chocolates = 3 × 11.2 = 33.6 (approx. 34)
