In a candy box, there are 3 times as many candies with nuts as candies without nuts. There are 8 candies in the box. How many candies with nuts are in the box?

15 caramel chocolates

5 chocolates with nuts

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x = caramel chocolates

y = chocolates with nuts

We now write the system of equations:

x + y = 20  x = 3y

Solving the system we have:

x = 15  y = 5

341

step-by-step explanation:

all you have to do is 9x31 (which equals 279) and then 20x31 (which equals 620). then you have to subtract. 620-279=341.
