Richard, henry and gavin share some sweets in the ratio 5: 4: 3. richard gets 70 sweets. how many sweets are there altogether?

There are 168 sweets altogether

Richard, Henry and Gavin share some sweets in the ratio 5 : 4 : 3

Let "5a" be the share of Richard

Let "4a" be the share of Henry

Let "3a" be the share of Gavin

Richard gets 70 sweets

share of Richard = 70

5a = 70

To find: number of sweets altogether

number of sweets altogether = share of richard + share of henry + share of gavin

number of sweets altogether = 5a + 4a + 3a

number of sweets altogether = 12a = 12(14) = 168

Thus there are 168 sweets altogether
