In a bag of red and green sweets, the ratio of red sweets to green sweets is 3:4 If the bag contains 12 green sweets, how many red sweets are there?

Given:

The ratio of red sweets to green sweets is 3:4.

Total number of green sweets = 12

To find:

The total number of red sweets.

Solution:

We have,

The ratio of red sweets to green sweets = 3:4.

Let the number of red sweets and green sweets are 3x and 4x respectively.

Total number of green sweets = 12

Divide both sides by 4.

Now,

Number of red sweets =

                                       =

                                       =

Therefore, the number of red sweets is 9.

the monthly balance will be $75,000

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
