Trina has 90 tootsie rolls and 45 bliw pops that she is making goodie bags for kids in the club. If there are 48 kids in her saddle club and she wants each bag to have the same number of tootsie rolls and blow pops, does she have enough candy to give each kid a goodie bag?

No.

Thanks

You're welcome, Amy.

To determine if Trina has enough candy to give each kid a goodie bag, we need to find out how many tootsie rolls and blow pops are needed in each bag.

First, we need to find the total number of candies that need to be distributed among the kids. Since Trina wants each bag to have the same number of tootsie rolls and blow pops, we can assume that the number of candies in each bag is equal to the common number, let's call it 'x'.

So, the total number of tootsie rolls used would be 48 (the number of kids) multiplied by 'x', and the total number of blow pops would also be 48 multiplied by 'x'.

The total number of tootsie rolls used would be 48x, and the total number of blow pops used would be 48x.

Given that Trina has 90 tootsie rolls and 45 blow pops, the following equations can be set up:

48x = 90 (equation 1)
48x = 45 (equation 2)

Now, we can solve these equations to find the value of 'x', which represents the number of tootsie rolls and blow pops in each bag.

Solving equation 1, we divide both sides by 48:
x = 90/48

Simplifying 90/48, we get:
x ≈ 1.875

Solving equation 2, we divide both sides by 48:
x = 45/48

Simplifying 45/48, we get:
x = 0.9375

From these calculations, we see that x is approximately 1.875 in equation 1 and 0.9375 in equation 2. However, we want the same number of candies in each bag, so we take the smaller value of x, which is 0.9375.

Since x represents the number of candies in each bag, we convert it to a whole number by rounding it down. In this case, the number of tootsie rolls and blow pops in each bag would be 0.

Therefore, Trina does not have enough candy to give each kid a goodie bag, as she does not have any tootsie rolls or blow pops available.
