Sushil, Alex and Peter share some sweets in the ratio 6:5:1. Sushil gets 60 more sweets than Peter. How many sweets are there altogether?

There are 144 sweets altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call:

S = Number of sweets Sushil's sweets

A = Number of sweets Alex' sweets

P = Number of sweets Peter's sweets

The ratio between them is S:A:P = 6:5:1. It must be separated as:

Or, equivalently:

5S = 6A        [1]

Also:

Or, equivalently:

A = 5P          [2]

We also know Sushil gets 60 more sweets than Peter:

S = P + 60     [3]

Solving for P:

P = S - 60     [4]

Substituting in [2]:

A = 5(S - 60) = 5S - 300     [5]

Substituting in [1]

5S = 6(5S - 300)

Operating:

5S = 30S - 1800

Rearranging:

25S = 1800

Dividing by 25:

S = 1800/25=72

S = 72

Substituting in [5]:

A = 5(72) - 300

A = 60

Substituting in [4]:

P = 72 - 60

P = 12

In total there are 72 + 60 + 12 = 144.

There are 144 sweets altogether.

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
