I have 97 pieces of candy that I would like to put into plastic Easter eggs to hide for my kids.
I want to hide 40 eggs in total, some blue and some purple. (Blue and purple are their favorite colors.) The blue eggs hold 3 pieces of candy, and the purple eggs hold 2 pieces of candy. How many blue eggs and how many purple eggs should I get?

Respuesta :

Answer:

17 blue eggs and 23 purple

Step-by-step explanation:

what we do is very simple

2 eggs one of each = 5

Then we distribute 97  

b = (90/2 + 1 + 1) /3        p = (90/2 + 1) /2  

b = 47/2                          p= 46 /2

b = 17                              p = 23
