Can someone help me with this question? Workings would be appreciated :] Adrian, Ben and Charlie share some sweets in the ratio 8:5:10 Charlie got 20 more sweets than Adrian. Work out the total amount of sweets.

230 - the total amount of sweets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adrian received 8 pieces of sweets;

Ben got 5 pieces of sweets;

Charlie received 10 pieces of sweets.

The sum of all parts:

8 + 5 + 10 = 23

Let's calculate how many parts Charlie got more than Adrian:

10 - 8 = 2

It is also known that Charlie received 20 more sweets than Adrian. This means that you can calculate how many sweets are in one part.

20 : 2 = 10

Now we can calculate the total amount of sweets:

10 × 23 = 230

i would say c is the best answer, hope it's right!

good luck! =)

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
