Answer:

240 sweets total

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the ratio Adrian:Ben:Charlie=7:4:9. We can put one sweet as x:

  • 7x+4x+9x=20x
  • Charlie has 24 more sweets that Adrian– 9x-7x=2x=24
  • So– x=12
  • Now– 7(12)+4(12)+9(12)=20(12)=240

Check your work:

  • 84:48:108
  • 108-84=24
  • 84+48+108=240
