If you have not done algebra, you can use the method of false position (like the ancient Egyptians did)
If they sold 1 almond bar, then they sold 3*1=3 mints, and 2*1=2 caramels for a total of 1+3+2=6 bars.
If they sold a total of 3750 bars, then almonds = 3750/6=625
Mint = 3*625=1875
Caramel =2*625=1250
Using algebra:
A=almond bars
C=2*A
M=3*A
Solve for A:
A+C+M=6A=3750
A=3750/6=625
M=3*625=1875
C=2*625=1250
Use the method of divding and multiplaction.
take 3,750 and divide that by 3
then take your answer from that and multiply that by 2 and you will get your answer!!
