Miss Rojas has a container of Jolly Ranchers on her desk. The ratio of Red Jolly Ranchers to Green Jolly Ranchers is 3 to 7. If there are 42 green jolly ranchers in the container, what is the total amount of Jolly Ranchers in the container?

The total amount of Jolly Ranchers in the container is 60 Jolly Ranchers

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a ratio of

Red Jolly Ranchers : Green Jolly Ranchers

3:7

Sum of the proportion = 3 + 7 = 10

Hence:

Let the total number of jolly ranchers = x

7/10 of x = 42 Green Jolly Ranchers

Hence:

7/10 × x = 42

7x /10 = 42

Cross Multiply

7x = 420

x = 420/7

x = 60 Jolly Ranchers

The total amount of Jolly Ranchers in the container is 60 Jolly Ranchers

w'x is 0.
