Answer:

  • w = 6j + 450
  • 129 Jolly Ranchers

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Total weight comprises of the weight of jar plus weight of Jolly Ranchers

  • w = 6j + 450 is the required equation

b) When the candy jar is full, it weighs 1224 grams. How many Jolly Ranchers can the jar hold?  

Given w = 1224, then to find j we solve the equation:

  • 1224 = 6j + 450
  • 6j = 1224 - 450
  • 6j = 774
  • j = 774/6
  • j = 129

The jar can hold 129 Jolly Ranchers
