Respuesta :

361 lollipop candies or 697 gummy bear candies fills the bag of volume 528 in.³, which gives the following possible equation;

  • 1.46•l + 0.76•g = 528

How can the correct equation be found?

Volume of candy bag = 528 in.³

Number of lollipop candies the bag can hold = 361 candies

Number of gummy bear candies the bag can hold = 697 candies

Therefore;

[tex]1 \: lollipop = \frac{528}{361} = 1.46[/tex]

[tex]1 \: gummy \: bear = \frac{528}{697} = 0.76[/tex]

Which gives the following equation;

  • 1.46•l + 0.76•g = 528
