A bag contains 216 sweets. Benjamin takes 1/3 of the sweets from the bag. The remaining sweets are divided between Owen and Abigail in the ratio 3:5 How many sweets does Owen receive

Respuesta :

Answer:

(2/3)(216) = 144 sweets left

3s + 5s = 144

8s = 144

s = 18

Owen receives 3(18) = 54 sweets.

Abigail receives 5(18) = 90 sweets.
