There are 60 skittles in each goodie bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The ratio of m&m's to skittles = 1:3
Total number of candies = 80
Let,
x be the original number to be multiplied with ratio, therefore;
Number of m&m's = 1x
Number of skittles = 3x
[tex]1x+3x=80\\4x=80[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 4
[tex]\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{80}{4}\\x=20[/tex]
Number of skittles = 3x = 3(20) = 60
There are 60 skittles in each goodie bag.
