Answer:
36 blue Candies
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of blue Candies
y ----> the number of yellow Candies
we know that
The ratio of blue candied and yellow candies is 3:5
so
[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{5}[/tex] ----> equation A
the bag contains 60 yellow Candies
so
[tex]y=60[/tex] ----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
[tex]\frac{x}{60}=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
solve for x
[tex]x=\frac{3}{5}(60)=36[/tex]
