80 because if you divide 24 by 3 and multiply it by 2, you get the second value (16), then divide 24 by 3 and multiply it by five, you get the third value (40). Then you add all three values (24,16,40) and you get 80

Answer:

80 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]Sushil: Alex: Peter\\\:3\:\:\:\:\:\:\: \:\:\:\::\:\:2\:\:\:\:\::\:5\\\\Sushil = 24 \:sweets[/tex]

Let the total number of sweets be x

[tex]3+2+5 =10\\\\=\frac{3}{10} \times x =24\\\\\frac{3x}{10} =\frac{24}{1} \\\\Cross\:Multiply\\\\3x\times 1 = 24\times 10\\\\3x = 240[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

[tex]\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{240}{3} \\\\x =80\:sweets[/tex]
