kinds of candy bars

by sanju09 » Fri Apr 10, 2009 4:07 am
R bought two kinds of candy bars, C and T, that came in packages of 2 bars each. He handed out 2/3 of C bars and 3/5 of the T bars. How many packages of C bars did R buy?

(1) R bought 1 fewer package of C bars than T bars.

(2) R handed out the same number of each kind of candy bars.

Let the number of C bars be x, the number of T bars be y.

For (1), y - x = 1

For (2), (2/3) x = (3/5) y

Together, we can get x = 9, y = 10

Hence it's C.
