There are x candies in a box. 8 of the candies are caramel-flavored and rest of them are strawberry-flavored. If the probability of randomly selecting a strawberry-flavored candy from the box is 1/3, find the total number of candies in the box.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is: 12 total candies

Step-by-step explanation

c = caramel-flavored

s = strawberry-flavored

so if there are 1/3 strawberry-flavored so that means there are 2/3 caramel-flavored. we know there are 8 caramel-flavored so if 8 is 2/3 of all the candies that means 4 is how many strawberry-flavored we have 12 total candies.
