A box of candies contains caramel chocolates and chocolates with nuts. there are 3 times more caramel chocolates as there are chocolates with nuts. if there are 20 chocolates total, how many are there of each type?

Respuesta :

carlosego
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 We have then:
 x = caramel chocolates
 y = chocolates with nuts
 We now write the system of equations:
 x + y = 20
 x = 3y
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 15
 y = 5
 Answer:
 there are:
 15 caramel chocolates
 5 chocolates with nuts
