.

Answer 1

Let the number of orange flavored candies be $x$.
$\Rightarrow$ Number of caramel candies $=x+10$
Now, number of caramel and orange flavored candies $=100$
$\Rightarrow x+x+10=100$
$\Rightarrow 2x+10=100$
$\Rightarrow 2x=90$ or $x=45$
$\therefore$ Number of orange flavored candies $=45$
$\therefore$ Number of caramel candies $=x+10=45+10=55$.
