QuestionRosie is making candy bags to give to her friends. The number of lollipops she's including in each bag varies directly with the number of chocolates.
She plans to include 3 lollipops for every 5 chocolates. How many lollipops will she need to buy if she has 75 chocolates? \begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline A. 45 & Go to Question \# 6 \\ \hline B. 225 & Go to Question \#8 \\ \hline C. 125 & Go to Question \#1 \\ \hline D. 15 & Go to Question \# 15 \\ \hline \end{tabular}

Studdy Solution
Solve the proportion to find the number of lollipops. Cross-multiply to solve for x x :
3×75=5×x 3 \times 75 = 5 \times x
225=5x 225 = 5x
Now, divide both sides by 5 to solve for x x :
x=2255 x = \frac{225}{5}
x=45 x = 45
Rosie will need to buy 45 \boxed{45} lollipops.
