Question

Amy has 5 packets containing 100 candies each, Stacy has 12 packets containing 10 candies each, and Ben has 9 candies. How many candies do they have in total?

• A. 529
• B. 649
• C. 629
• D. 489

Answer 1

The correct option is C 629

Given, Amy has 5 packets containing 100 candies each.
So, number of candies Amy has = 5 times 100 = 500

Stacy has 12 packets containing 10 candies each.
So, number of candies Stacy has = 12 times 10 = 120

Also, Ben has 9 candies.

So, number of candies they have in total $=500+120+9$
And, $500+120+9=629$
